Suit

Maya and I went with John to the mall today--yes, you heard me right, the mall--to get him a new suit. He has been meaning to do this for at least six months (I gave up nagging him after the first two months). So when he planned the whole thing of his own accord, I was happy to go along. We got him a suit, a shirt, a snazzy tie, and a belt. His suit is being altered, so I'll get a photo as soon as I can. He was very well-bahaved and it turned out to be a fun family outing (usually shopping with John involves a lot of eye rolling and head-shaking and shoulder-tensing on my part and a lot of whining and teasing on his--I therefore, NEVER take him grocery shopping anymore, or any kind of shopping really, and I'm not even kidding--I'm sure that was his plan in the first place). Maya was adorable this morning while we were getting ready to go out the door. She saw that I was doing my hair (yes, DOING MY HAIR), and of her own accord she pulled clothes out of a basket of clean-and-yet-to-be-folded clothing (there are a lot of those around here), took off her pajamas, let me change her diaper, and asked for help getting her new clothes on. Then she got on her own Sunday shoes and her backpack and just waited around for me to finish. She also said "Oma and Opa" a few times. I've been pretty sick this weekend and we haven't gotten out much. I think she is starting to get a little stir crazy. We had fun!
