Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

Getting the lay of the land

April18

I got myself a wonderful cup of coffee and sat for a little bit in central park today. Everyone seems to congregate there. It’s a great place to people watch.

You can’t really tell in this photo but the water comes from the breasts of the women.

Cheri is so gracious. She took me around to a variety of grocery stores today so that I could find the specialty stores as well as get a feel for the big grocery store. (B – you offered to help me negotiate the grocery store but I lost your number some how. Thanks for the offer and sorry I never called!) So after 4 stores and 2 hours, I have a base for water jugs (Cheri also helped me get set up with water delivery), some other household items I was looking for and a few groceries.

On the Sabrina front, we’ve had a long evening.  She really doesn’t want to be put down for more than 15 seconds.  The sling only works if we are walking – in the house I must hold her tonight.  I still think her teeth are bothering her – she keeps sucking on everything.  She isn’t eating as much as she was.  She won’t sleep but is tired.  So I am trying to do everything one handed tonight.  She is getting better every day at sitting up on her own.  She can do it on my lap facing toward me but if I put her on the floor she thinks about it and falls over.

I’m working on it mommy – my posing is getting better too.

How much personality does this girl have?  Just look at the face!

And another self-portrait for daddy.  I don’t think she likes to share the limelight because she doesn’t tend to smile for our self portraits.
