Family Time

Family time has been so hard for us to come by these days. Willie and I are working all the time so it's easier to get time with our son individually because of our mitchmatched schedules. What I didn't initially take into consideration was the fact that kids experience grief too. Our Granny passing was just as hard on our son as it has been to us. I realized that she was the third main adult in his life. We visited her daily.

​His grief showed up in subtle ways at first; being clingy and fussy. Then he just flat out became...sad. I had to figure out something fast. So Dad and I decided to take a short trip to a family fun house that was capped with a mini shopping spree complete with cookies at the local mall. 

My sister and niece also came on the trip, making it all the more fun for our little guy. I was too busy enjoying the fun to get many pics and whatnot but I did manage to capture my favorite moments of the day: William's laugh riding the bumper cars and watching the kids hold hands like little siblings through the mall. The entire day barely cost us $250 and it was worth every penny. 

What at are some good ideas and places to go for fun with toddler's? I'd appreciate the insight! 

Stay Beautiful,
