So,

The wife and I took our son to the mall yesterday.  Not the first time we have done this but every other time he has been we placed him & his car seat into the stroller.  Yesterday we didn’t use the car seat, he loved looking around at everything in the mall as we walked around.  No, I am sad to say that the mall is getting rather empty, although they do say they have more stores coming in and the soft pretzel place will be coming back.  I hope the mall fills up just because its a great place to take him on a hot & stormy day (or a blizzard in the winter).  Also, they have officially announced that the former TGI Fridays location in the mall lot will be replaced with a Red Robin.  Very excited about that, I’ve always wanted to eat at one but never been able to.

Just thought I’d share some of the stupid things people have asked and/or done since my wife and I announced we were having a kid and after he was born.

• What are you going to do if he’s allergic to your cats?
  • I replied “Get rid of the kid”, no one got the joke……
• Is he a good baby?
  • Wife always wants to say “Nope, I’m going to return him”
• Can I hold him?
  • Sure, I’ll let a complete stranger hold him.  NOT!!!!
• What’s that white stuff on your shirt?
  • Hmm, I have a baby, its probably spit up.

I’m sure there is more, I just can’t think of it right now.
