Cleaning the House is So Much Fun!!
Last month, we had family in town. After everyone left, I was tidying up the house and MVP started following my lead. He really got into it and I took the following video of him cleaning the living room.

Mother's Day
For Mother's Day last week, we spent a couple days up in Raleigh. Andy had a conference for work that he had to attend and I had some intense relaxing to do. When Andy first told me that he would have to go to Raliegh for a couple days, I immediately determined that I would go with him. It was almost embarrasing how excited I was about the prospect of getting out of the house and away from work/other responsibilities for a couple days.
We left right after church so MVP (and I) could take a nap on the drive up. Since the conference didn't start until noon on Monday, we spent some time at the hotel pool and at a local park. The pool was great because it was only about 3.5 feet deep, but it had shallow areas on both sides that were only about 5 inches deep. One side had a mushroom-shaped water fountain and the other side had air bubbles coming up from pipes, so MVP was quite satisfied to splash around and play. I am a little concerned that he is completely unafraid of the water and I had to watch him like a hawk. At least he's not quite as bold around the ocean--yet.
While Andy was in meetings, I read while MVP was taking naps and we also went shopping. It was really nice to run some errands and not have to worry about what time it was or what was going on at the office.
MVP was quite the trooper. He slept well and was well behaved at all the stores we went to. He even humored me by enjoying a Zhen Zhu (Bo Ba) drink and red bean bun from the Asian food store.
The one thing that did not go well was that I discovered that the Wide Shoe Warehouse in Raliegh has been closed. This is sad because if I had known they were struggling, I would have made a special trip to keep them afloat. It is even sadder to think that I likely missed out on a liquidation sale. Anyone with wide feet will tell you how depressing and frustrating it is to go to a shoe store only to find about 10 pairs of shoes that come in wide widths--all of which look like shoe manufacturers naturally assume that people with wide feet are purely morivated by comfort, not style. It was a sad sad discovery. It's hard to even write about this.

Love at First Sight
The other day, we snapped this picture of MVP after brushing his teeth. It reminds me of a song my dad would sing...
I love myself. I think I'm grand.
When I go to movies, I hold my hand.
I put my arm around my waist,
And when I get fresh, I slap my face.
