Thank You


hiccups

I want to thank a few people who helped make yesterday pretty great. In no particular order:

I would like to thank Jack's babysitter for being a no show. It allowed me to spend 30 minutes in the swing chair with both of my boys under a blanket telling the wizard of oz story. Which Jack said he thought "Charlie really likes". 

I would like to thank Charlie for going to sleep after nursing, so that Jack and I could crawl into bed and watch an episode of Spiderman.

I would like to thank Jack for cuddling up next to me while watching Spiderman and falling asleep. His first at home nap in bed with mommy in what may be a year. 

I would like to thank Charlie for continuing to sleep all the way through my nap with Jack, and our grilled cheese and apples lunch, another thing we haven't been able to do in a long time. 

I would like to thank AMC for running Die Hard in the middle of the afternoon while Nipper took Jack to swim class, so that I didn't DIE of boredom while Charlie nursed for 17,000 hours. 

I would like to thank Nipper for taking Jack to swim class, where he reportedly did the pancake float all on his own, the only kid in his class to do it. Then for taking him to Menchie's and getting this picture. 




I would like to also thank the inventor of Limonata, for you know, inventing it. 

And I think that's it. 

As you can see, anyone that helps my boys nap, me nap, provides desert, action movies, or lemony goodness is alright in my book.

World's worst mommy

When he was 2

Feeling a little guilty that while Jack was at school today, I went to one audition, ate a leisurely take out lunch from the Greek Restaurant on Larchmont and took a 1.5 hour nap. But I did take the nap at the same time as he was taking his nap at school, which was sort of like fulfilling a campaign promise, so I don't feel too guilty about it.

This morning in the car on the way to school he told me he doesn't like naptime. I told him that naptime is just naptime, and he'd have to take one at that time even if he was home. He asked me if I take a nap at home when he's taking a nap at school. I said "yes". Then I went on to tell him that EVERYBODY who is anybody naps at 1pm.

At least mommy's not a liar.

NYC updates coming soon. I might need another few days of naps before I can manage all the typing.
