Shopping & Naps

Today turned out pretty good but the night is still young. We headed over to Farmor's house around 11am and had lunch. Fredrik got to shower so that was nice. It took a while for the kids to fall asleep so they had a late nap and it was a bit long too. Maybe 3-4 hours? Davin had an excuse since I gave him some Benedryl after lunch. He refuses to listen to me when I tell him that he can't have chocolate because of the milk in it. Well, he ate it anyway and then said his mouth hurt. Duh.

After he crashed on the couch and Linnea fell asleep, I took the opportunity to do some shopping. We got a gift certificate for a shop in town that carries glass and cookware. Fredrik and I went to take a look at what they had and left the kids asleep with Farmor (and Jan too). The shop had a lot of nice things but we weren't sure what would be best to take home with us. We have a whole week to pick something so we decided to wait. I needed some socks -- I bought some to take with me but of course forgot them. Also, the socks I bought for Davin weren't quite tall enough to go over his boots so I bought some for him too. Then we were off to look for gifts for the cousins since we forgot the presents we bought at home. We were able to find something cheap and that they will like. We also found out there are two more cousins on the way so I also got some baby toys for them too. Then I got a small toy for Linnea and then we were done.

I also looked at buying Davin a booster seat. The brand we like doesn't have the model I wanted and it was super expensive. They had another one on sale that looked pretty good and not too big or bulky either. The seat we have for Davin came with the rental car and isn't very good. We also have to return the car on the 26th and so we will be without one for the rest of our trip. Our only option is to rent another seat when we get to Fredrik's dad's or buy one since we need one anyway when we get home. I was thinking that we will probably need two booster seats for each car at home so buying a cheaper one now and buying the one I really want when we get back might work really well. We will take Davin to the store tomorrow to try it out and see if it fits ... and if he likes it.

So, after all the shopping we went back to Farmor's and ate dinner, had coffee and woke the Davin up. He was super grumpy so we just decided to head to our apartment. Now both kids are awake but hopefully not for too much longer. It would be nice to get a good night's rest again.
