hmmm...I best write about this, lest I forget.
My mommy came to visit!
Saturday, our good friend from DC visited! She was curious about life with childrens...what if they spit up on you, she asked as I was holding Miss Squeaky above my head. It don't matter. I've been through much, much worse*
Most bad things that infants do, give me data points. If the baby is screaming, I know they have enough oxygen. (This might be from my fears right after they were born, and Mr Grunty couldn't cry.) When they woke up in the middle of the night, I was always a bit happy, because SIDS hadn't attacked my childrens. Poo & pee...it's good that they do that, their digestion is working, it's bad if they don't. Hmm...not much data from spit up...oh well...it doesn't smell that bad.
Right before she left, our friend said to Miss Squeaky, "later, I'll teach you about your reproductive rights" She failed to point out that Mr. Grunty will have less reproductive rights than his sister.**
Miss Squeaky took her first steps. I am so very happy it was in front of us at home. (Note, she hasn't since. Maybe we made to big a deal of it.)
Miss Squeaky wanted to share a carrot with Mr. Grunty, he wouldn't take it from her, so she crawled over to him, and pushed on his chest trying to make him take the carrot. We adults thought it was so very cute, until gravity took over, and Mr. G fell over and bonked his head on the floor. :-( Poor Mr. G.
Sunday
I played in the garden. I've dug up a new spot. I got some dirt from the store, (Mr. G helped pick it out.) I planted some beans and some radishes, and some raspberry. I found worms. I got dirt under my nails. It was fun.
Later that night, I was sitting on the floor and eating a banana. The childrens mobbed me, they wanted banana, too. They were very happy as I fed them pieces, until we ran out!
Monday
We went to kite hill for a picnic. Entertained by lots of people fail at flying a kite.
*Like the time I spilled rotten pork blood all over me, because physical plant didn't tell us that two of our coolers were on the same circuit! YES, still bitter about that.
**A woman can legally choose not to be a parent, weeks after conception. A man, legally is obliged to be a parent as soon as he consents to sex.
