Lately Tommy hates going on walks. He cries and whines and throws a minor (or major) fit. It's tragic really because that has historically been the best hour of my day and now it's gone.
So yesterday when I went to have lunch with some old friends (which was lovely), I was nervous about the mandatory walk around Temple Square afterward.
I simply don't have the ability to be there and not walk around and enjoy the beauty.
So I packed my emergency supplies and hoped Tommy would humor me for a lovely stroll downtown.
Humor me he did.
We sang "I Love To See the Temple". In public. Quietly, but still! I've officially crossed the line from "Aware and concerned about those around me and what they think." to "Who cares? I'm a mom."
This is how much Tommy loves Temple square. I took about 20 pictures and he's making this exact face in 18 of them.
While we were on the temple grounds (and the secret garden) he couldn't take his eyes off the temple. My neck hurt at the end of it, I'm assuming his did too.
And like his momma, he really couldn't take his eyes off the plants and the beautiful colors.
I love it too! When I used to have lunch breaks, if I had extra time, I would go sit/walk around temple square. And, super cute Tommy pictures!
ReplyDeleteHEY!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how big he is getting. Holy smokes. He looks like he needs some Tahnee-lovin'. Just sayin'!
I love this post for several reasons.
ReplyDelete01. Lola hates walks now too, so I'm glad I'm not alone there.
02. You were literally a five-minute walk from my house!
So the moral of the story is, the next time you are in SLC... COME VISIT! Or better yet, let's walk together!

ReplyDeleteMy kids still can't get me to sing out loud in pubic. They will ask, though. Like in the grocery store some one is bound to say, "let's all sing..."
