A Day Out

We took advantage of the spring weather and took Kai for his first real outing in his new stroller.  Remember how I said I love it?  Well, I have to retract that statement, because it has been nothing but a headache.  For some reason, Kai just doesn't sit in it right, and the headrest flops all around so he has no security for his head.  I have been so frustrated, but Kai's OT made some adjustments with it that has helped.  She was completely astonished with it as well, but said that as long as we tighten the headrest every day and keep the adjustments she made, it will work.  Ugh.  I believe that because Kai was still not feeling well from surgery when we got it, we didn't really get an accurate view of how he really sits in it, therefore when we came home and he became more active, both he and (we) hated it.   Oh well, it could be worse--we are getting used to it, and with the adjustments it isn't so bad.

Back to the main topic--we took a day out.  We went over to Best Buy first (our first "public" place with Kai) and then we went to the park.  Kai was a model child at Best Buy, and Zuri threw a tantrum because she wanted a balloon, but when we got her a balloon, the string wasn't "long" enough.  At the park, Kai was the one throwing tantrums while Zuri was the model child.  By the time we got home, J and I were just worn out!

Part of the problem with Kai, I think, was that he was tired.  I ended up just walking around the park with him and he fell asleep in the stroller.





There was a lady who hung around us while we were by the pond watching the ducks.  I could tell that she wanted to approach us but wasn't quite sure how.  She saw we were taking pictures and offered to take a family picture.  I took her up on it a little later, and she asked a few questions about Kai.  It was nice, but I am still getting used to all the attention Kai brings.
