The weather was lovely later that evening when I took the dog for his jaunt (of course!), so I brought my new camera for some playing...
I have loads of laundry that have been in the washer and dryer since Monday that I need to take care of today. Heh. Also, the catbox needs scooped, and there are dishes to wash. Yesterday, Guppy got up at 6:30, but today (when I was hoping to get her to nap early so I could take her to the library and meet a friend...) she seems to have decided to sleep in. Unpredictable baby is unpredictable. There are undoubtedly many parents who would advocate keeping her to a stricter meal and sleep schedule, but she seems to self-regulate really well. She sleeps through nights excellently, and tells me unmistakably when she needs food or a nap. We go to sleep about the same time every night, after a nice, familiar going-to-bed routine, and though she sometimes mutters for a while in her crib, there are very few fights about naps* or sleep or eating. It works for us, so I guess that's what counts.
It's a gorgeous day, so I'm hoping we'll go play outside for a while today.
I got two new digital stamps up at my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ellenmillion
And I'll leave you with an article on life drawing, talent, and skill that I found quite thought-provoking: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-maidman/dear-jerry-notes-on-life-_b_5453722.html
I'm really craving a life drawing class...
I hear a baby! "Mummy? Mummy? Where da Mama?"
* I am an idiot for typing that 'out loud.' Today, I tried to put her down for that early nap, with no luck, and at regular naptime I finally put her down with fussing and yelling and crying and kicking and it was an hour before she finally gave up.
