Do you know that I try really hard to be a ‘fun’ mom? Almost every day I try to think of fun things to do and places to go. And do you know what my precious little one usually says, “Want home!”
I take her to the library….”Want home!”
I take her to church….”Want home!”
I take her to the park….”Want home!”
Shopping, playdates, Grammie’s house, out to lunch….”Want home!”
She is her father’s child: a homebody!
I am always telling her, “Sadie, this is suppose to be fun. This is what good moms do! Try to enjoy it a little.”
Once we arrive at our destination it usually takes her 45 minutes of observation before she’ll participate. Thankfully, once she does warm up she almost always has a fabulous time. And don’t you know that when it is time to head home she is usually devastated and cries. The irony!
Which means – I endure the car ride of hearing her say “want home”, the 45 minutes of her wanting to sit on my lap and me trying to encourage her to play, and a meltdown when we have to leave – all so that she can have 15 or 30 minutes of enjoyment. Is is worth it? I hope so!
Anyways, that’s how this play date to the fire station went…..

Johnson Family - Derek would have loved to be part of this activity! Firetrucks and riding lawn mowers are so fun.
I’m happy to hear Sadie enjoyed a little of her outing.
Whenever I take Derek to the library for story time he doesn’t want to get up and dance like the other kids or get a stamp on his hand at the end of the activity. They all have their likes/dislikes don’t they!
