Motherhood is all about balance
Specifically, how much shopping you can balance on a stroller before it tips over backwards and flings out your bundle of joy.
First time in a pool!
TJ was oh so perky this morning, and has started to do really well in the bouncer. . . rather than always in our arms (unless he’s deeply, deeply asleep). He even fell asleep in it today, which is a first – especially from a wide-awake start.
Then we dropped Louisette at daycare and went for a swim – TJ’s first ever (and he’s not big on baths yet, so it was a mildly risky move). It was also my first swim since giving birth to him. I plan to swim every second day as long as CJ is on leave (not much longer now, sadly), and at least twice a week after that (which will be more complex).
He switched between suspicious, thoughtful, enraged, and apparently asleep!
He quickly grew curious enough to attempt to drink the pool. Apparently it’s genetic.
Nice Mohawk, kid.
Baby Triceratops Puppet
A special event at school today. I barely slept last night, because when I showed Louisette a video of one of the animatronics that was likely to appear – she was so scared I had to turn it off. Luckily that particular animatronic didn’t show – and this one did:
She also painted a plaster dinosaur and dug for fossils. A great day, with no new trauma 🙂
Tradies
We had tradies over today to look at our broken reverse air con, so TJ got his first play with Louisette’s hammer.
