Today we had (yet another) Sears photo session at noon.
Kevin is off on Fridays, so it’s always nice to having him accompany me on these trips! Plus it means that we get to have an excursion to the mall food court afterwards. And, since Jack-Evan usually passes out after his pictures are taken, we get some quality adult time.
Sitting there across from my beloved husband, in the loud, bustling food court, scarfing down a 3-cheese steak footlong, snarfing bacon & cheese fries, with a sleeping baby in the stroller beside us, we can almost pretend we’re on a most exquisite date.
Almost.
But even with those romantic possibilities on the horizon, I came close to cancelling our photo session today. As I was changing Jack’s diaper this morning, 5,783 reasons why we should NOT go across town to the mall today zipped randomly through my mind.
Fortunately, I talked myself out of talking myself out of it though. I mean, this is Jack’s first ever, first-ever-halloween. He’s going to be a lion. If I don’t drop everything and capture the moments on film (er..pixels??), I’ll regret it later. He’ll never have a second chance to have a first moment, right? He’ll only be a baby once.
At least, that’s how I rationalize my obsession with photographing my kid. All moms need some sort of rational thought stream, or we’d go nuts with our shenanigans.
For what it’s worth, I ended up very happy that we did keep our appointment.
