Mass Confusion at McD's

Rich and I took Chase to the mall for a bit today. Unfortunately, our mall doesn't have a play area for kids.....maybe I should advocate for one! There is a pit area that is completely empty....bummer! We took Chase down to the pit so he could run "free" from the stroller for awhile, but the only thing he wanted to do was give me a heart attack climbing the all tile stairs and running along the VERY steep carpeted stairs/seats....so we bolted! We decided to take him to McDonald's just to play in the PlayPlace! This is when I think Chase is the cutest..... He can't be trusted and is definitely too small to climb those 20 feet tall disgusting and rather confined tunnels to get to the slide, so Mommy always has to tag along! After we climbed 3 times, he noticed the back of this little girl's head and said, "Ha-De." He sure thought it was his cousin Haylie. I felt bad when she turned around, but he still wanted to hang out near her as if she were Haylie. He did call her that a couple more times when she was leaving with her parents. He then told her bye-bye and called out Aunt Rie-Rie's name. Good thing he knows Aunt Rie-Rie is Haylie's Mommy.
