An Unexpected Visit

My good friend Danica and her 4 year old son Ian spent the night on Sunday on their way to visit family in Greensboro. I found out about the visit mid-week and was SO excited! All day Sunday I anticipated their arrival. Ian turned 4 in September so of course I wanted to get him a  gift he could open...so off to Target I went. HOLY CRAP! I must have walked around the toy section for over a half hour. I was completely overwhelmed baffled at what to get a 4 year old! Of course for a brief moment I wished "he" could have been a "she" so I could purchase an Easy Bake Oven but I finally decided on Play Doh, all different colors and tools. On another errand I picked up some coloring books and crayons. My heart was heavy Sunday with a mix of excitement to spend time with a 4 year old but also my great friend Danica.  This "baby fever" is truly starting to take over my brain. I can't walk in to a store without cruising the baby section just to look at the miniature outfits and awesome toys.

Ian was so much fun! So well behaved and what a great age, so curious and polite,creative and hilarious. I loved that I had some time to talk to Danica too about her pregnancy and just get some feedback of how things were while she was pregnant.  We had our usual wine and cheese and just enjoyed our short evening together. I only wish they lived closer.
