The other day was an Ikea day. We spent enough time at Ikea to have both lunch, dinner, and dessert there. We ended up having the same cashier for lunch and dinner, but she didn't seem to think it was weird to see us for both meals. Everyone who saw Will in his stroller made comments about how brave I was for getting out of the house so soon. I'm not that brave...my mom was still in town and we don't have any air conditioning. So out of all the airconditioned places to choose from we decided on Ikea because they have these baby care rooms where you can just lock the door and have a little room to yourself to feed and diaper your babe. They even have free diapers and wipes! Does anyone else do this?
I feel like a hypocrite spending so much time at Ikea because about a year ago I was writing a blog about how Ikea has such horrible service and how I would never shop there again. Time has healed that rift I guess.
We had a good time, Britton plugged in his laptop at one of the displays and pretended to model the desk's utility. After almost an hour someone finally noticed him and asked him to stop using their power to do his homework. My mom brought her book, I got lost around the store a couple times, and Will slept.
So if you don't have airconditioning, I recommend spending some time at Ikea to cool off. They also have excellent meatballs, refreshing frozen yogurt, and unique lingonberry and elderflower flavored items. mmm, lingonberry.

I just recently discovered Ikea and I love it. It's nice to get out of the house with a baby. Especially when people comment on how cute your baby is.
We seem to hang out at costco for hours at a time. I am not aloud to go without Aaron, and he is not aloud to go without me. It is always a family thing... Free air, free furniture to sit on, free food? But that changing room sounds pretty cool. I'll have to check it out - never been.
whaa hah. You could make a movie of that...(except I think someone already did but they were living at Walmart I think.) I too am an Ikea-hater (say it loud, say it proud)...however now that you mention frozen yogurt, I may have to rethink that position. FY being my favorite dessert and exceptionally hard to find these days I feel the need to support any retailer who makes it available. :-)
