Silly Mommy
I've heard that pregnancy brain never really goes away after pregnancy. The following story confirms this claim.
Last Thursday evening Steven, Edmund, and I headed to the mall. Steven decided to study in Panera since they have wi-fi and I wanted to walk Edmund around the mall until he decided to nap. If you will recall from an earlier blog posting, Edmund refuses to nap during the day. After walking around the first floor of the mall a couple of times Edmund was still wide awake. I needed a change of scenery, so I decided to take the elevator to the second floor. I pushed the up button. When the elevator opened I pushed the stroller into the elevator and pressed the button to close the doors. After about a minute the doors reopened. Edmund and I got off the elevator while making room for the next mommy and stroller to enter. We began our walk on the second floor, or so I thought. After walking 100 feet or so the stores seemed all too familiar. Edmund and I were again walking on the first floor. Edmund's very silly mommy had forgotten to press the 2 while in the elevator. We had stood in a non-moving elevator for a minute and I never noticed. Fortunately no one was around to see my blunder except Edmund, and for the moment he's not talking!
