Day 15: 29 Days of the Everyday

They do. Lucy’s Great Auntie Janice taught us this today.

We went to the west-end of Toronto this morning for a fun little visit with her and Great Uncle Jim (Eric’s aunt and uncle). After Lucy detached herself from me — seriously, I felt like I was pregnant again, except the baby was OUTSIDE AND DEATH GRIPPING ME — she ran all over the house playing with her second cousin (Uncle) Ted’s neat old toys, exclaiming over squirrels and eating her way through almost an entire bunch of grapes (thank goodness I’m not on diaper duty tomorrow. Stand guard, Nana!).

Lucy fell asleep two minutes after we left, clutching the new Little People Spring Is Here book her doting aunt and uncle bought her for her birthday. She wanted to bring it into her crib at naptime, but I refused. We compromised by leaning it up against her dresser so she could gaze at it lovingly between the bars. Might explain why she did not sleep…

We had a wonderful time. Thanks for having us over, Auntie Janice and Uncle Jim! We can’t wait to have you over here when the weather is nicer and we can enjoy the back deck. Also: IOU Devil Cookies.
