Dominc seemed to have a great time running around and experiencing all it had to offer. They had even added a few more things since last year. Our friends, the McMahon's, came with us this year. Some of the lines were pretty long, espcecially since it was such a beautiful day out. We were joking that the two 2 year olds (Dominc and Treyton) were more patient on the lines than the two Dads were!
While we were planning the day there was a big part of me that was excited to go just to see the difference from last year to this year and how it would be so different for Dominic based on the different stages he was at. While I was getting him dressed to leave, it reminded me that last year Dominic had actually gone to Hill Ridge barefoot. It was at a time when we still didn't regularly put shoes on him since it was still generally warm out and he wasn't walking yet. That morning, we tried to put shoes on him, but he had suddenly outgrown the one pair that we had for him. At the time, it was no big deal to just take him barefooted. I think it was the next week that we bought him his first pair of "real" sneakers that weren't just for show and he started walking very shortly after that. It was just so overwhelming to me that that was only one year ago, but him being in that stage seems like decades ago on some days. So cliche, but it really does all go too fast and I wish I could bottle up every single stage!
