i think sometimes i lose my writing mojo. or my precious baby decides to sleep 12 hours a night and reminds me what 8+ hours of consecutive sleep feel like and i capitalize on that shiz. one or the other. either way, sorry for the hiatus. i’m back now with a vengeance! and here’s a song for you.
that’s fort atlantic with their amazing ‘let your heart hold fast’ from my favorite episode of how i met your mother. yum.
so, what’s new in our lives?
p and i are now the proud owners of a TODDLER. and whoever coined the phrase ‘the terrible TWOS’ is a dirty, dirty liar. that crap starts as soon as your baby realizes that there is a world outside of the buggy. i swore to myself i would never be THAT MOM (ie. my mom …i wasn’t a very good baby) but this product is on the to-buy list at the moment. sometimes you just need a leash.
s is officially a social butterfly. over the past month and a bit we’ve had more than a few houseguests (p’s sister and her family, s’s godparents and their four kids, s’s other godmummy and my best friend, and my sister…not including the house full for her birthday party!) and s has had an amazing time dancing, playing, laughing, eating chocolate, blowing bubbles, dining out, and shopping.
and a few other things, in brief:
s is addicted to chocolate.
p and i saw the dalai lama.
s had not one, but TWO babysitters, and appeared to behave to some extent.
never go to the natural history museum (or any other free london attraction) during the school holidays. especially with a sick baby.
my baby rocks out to bruno mars, psy, and macklemore. i’m a bad mommy.
this summer is going to be epic. plane tickets booked to america, holiday in wales with s’s godparents paid in full, and s and i get to join p on the choir trip to germany AND on another weeklong program in london. i should probably talk to my boss.
‘no’ is the new ‘yeah’. and i do not like it.
i bought baby crocs and i don’t feel guilty.
some mummy friends and i started a book club and so far we’ve read one whole book! up next? this one! (thanks e for the inspiration!)
that’s all for now, but stay tuned for a post on the party of the year…it was a good one.
