As those of you who have read my
101 in 1001 know, one of my goals (#32) was to babysit my little brother Sam while my parents took a trip for their anniversary. I completed that goal when they went to Charleston from March 3rd-10th and it was definitely an experience!! It isn't easy going from having no children (ok, well, a 4 lb Yorkie) to having a 5 year old (that's going on 25), and I absolutely have a newfound appreciation for mothers everywhere (especially my own)!
During the time Sam was here, he kept me on my toes, and I got to experience some new things in the Iowa City area like the playground at the mall (best to go early before it gets too busy), storytime at the library (he wasn't a fan, sadly), and the Children's Museum (where was this when I was a kid?? That grocery store is fantastic!). Although it was difficult at times, it was also pretty fun to spend some time with my little brother. Here's one of the photos I took of him while he was staying with us...
I also wanted to mention that KCRG's A-List voting has started, and if you would take a quick second to vote for Jen Madigan Photography, I would appreciate it very much!!
