stella's napping. i should take one too. after all, day light savings (which used to be one of my favorite days of the entire year) and a cold have rocked our schedules. i was up steaming the congested little duckie in the bathroom at 4:30 this morning. as i sat rocking her on the edge of the tub, i thought, "well this is fair, i'm sure my mom did this for us." then years later we moved to house with a steam shower so when we were congested, a little brown chair was plopped in the shower for us.
this morning, i can hear sleet falling from the sky and i have to run a few errands. errands make city living exhausting. first i plan the order of my stops. definitely michael's first because felt and glue are lighter than food. then i figure out exactly which groceries i need which determines which market i go to (and which transportation to take) and how i should travel stella (stroller or carrier). ah, see? tiring.
i can't be too down on nyc. yesterday the marathoners ran their 22nd mile by our apartment. did i post the same thing last november? probably. they are inspiring. i only got this one shot of the leading women (it was chilly and stella was sick). the american with the high socks went on to take 2nd place in her first marathon ever. see? inspiring.
i hope it isn't sleeting where ever you are and that babies in your lives are taking 2+ hour naps.
happy monday

It isn't sleeting here and TWO of my babies are taking naps? Life is good. You're a good mom. Isn't that a crazy thing when all of the sudden you realize that all of these things you do for your baby--these things that feel hard and uncomfortable--were done for you? And you wonder (at least I did) why it didn't occur to me sooner? Is this the real reason ours moms want grandchildren? So we'll finally be grateful to them?
I love your apartment and that you scoped out your marathon spot from day 1. Thanks for posting this pic. And thanks for a dose of the reality of being a mom in the city. Because while it doesn't all seem perfect, you make it seem pretty amazing. But really, when are errands fun for anyone?
That is so cool! She is so cute!!!!
