As Jim Gaffigan described having four kids…
“Imagine you’re drowning, and someone hands you a baby.”
The days are pretty gutless when we have a new baby. Likely any new placement would stir things up as we learn them and they start to learn us. Sugar beet is much the same. Baby is not a great napper, though a pretty good nighttime sleeper, which I’d definitely prefer if given the choice. Daytime productivity is off the books for the moment, as it seems, and thats ok. Mostly. Its hard when there is so much to do. It feels like I’m only hands-free when I’m driving, in which case, I am driving, so…..
Getting supper on the table was a fun challenge today. Dekker paced with Sugar beet for a while, but seemingly god bored (?) and set baby down, so naturally, baby cried. And Dekker didn’t seem put off by that 😅 It’s ok. We got through it, and everyone did eat. For the first time in the day, Sugar beet actually slept soundly for a time without being held.
Except. Baby is currently sleeping on my cozy chair.
*sigh*
So I can’t even sit comfy for the moments that I’m baby free!! Feels intentional. Punk baby.
I tease. I love Sugar beet. I miss crocheting a little bit 🤏 but I’ll get that in on the drive to camp. Baby obviously comes first 💜 No question.
