• We fed her last two hours before we put her down yesterday. So she was hungry. D’uh.
• The other day when she woke up, I entered the baby’s room. I lay in the bed adjacent to her little fluffy prison and wait for her to rise. As she does, I do too and I challenge her to kiss me on the lips. In a rare victory, she swoops forward and plants one there. My trying to persuade her that that display of affection is good is to squeal “Hooray” and clap my hands, both of which my wife and I - and observant friends - use fairly regularly both in order to train her and to get some laughs from. She gets happy, and a bit taken off-guard as usual. And then she draws both of her hands together (they were propped upat the top of the rails), claps once, and falls on her butt.
• Jennie and I are going to Colombia (in South America) in a couple days. I’ve mentioned this before - heck, yesterday - but our daughter is not coming with us for this jaunt. And, as you can expect, we’re facing some criticism - and a lot of turned heads - for it. Personally, I think I’d have problems with someone abandoning my niece, even if it’s not abandoning. I want to speak to that. Before we leave, I’ll try to word out our reasoning the best that I can with no sleep (see how THIS is working out for me) and chunk it up for the next week.
• Peace.
