Gassy Babe

An old trick I suddenly remembered from my mother: curl a gassy baby over / around your lap.

It doesn't look comfortable, but G-Baby said that it was. She finally settled down. Didn't belch or toot, but settled.

Baby Neck. This tiny patch of skin, behind the chin and below the earlobe is my most favoritest place to kiss my baby. Soft and filled with baby smell.

A Two-Hour Delay Means...

... A Super Start to the day! - Weston

... We can do anything we want! - Sammy

... I get to play what I like. - Norah

... No, mommy. - Willa

... Leave my coffee cup alone! - Honour

Can you see the fog? Can you see the excitement? Can you see that Willa hasn't lost any of her grumpiness from yesterday? Someone should tell her that a delayed school day means a better breakfast (fresh blueberry muffins and scrambled eggs) and a relaxed mommy. Delay or not, it's a spankin'-new-mercies day!
