new york is great part 2

first reason: yesterday my toddler was in short sleeves shoveling the snow that had not melt from the 4 inches we got 5 days earlier. it was 67 degrees. it was still chilly in the morning but by post-nap time filler....we shoveled in the sunshine. i wish i had thought to take a picture.

second reason: doing laundry across the street - it just as close to my house as some of my friends backyards are to their laundry room. i bet i could use a baby monitor, but instead i just go fast. i did my sheets and all my towels.

third reason: my toddler ate spring rolls, fried calamari, and pad thai for dinner.

ps. asher is three months old this week. that went fast. he also peed on my fresh, newly washed sheets. that'll teach me to be lazy after nursing at 6am and leaving him in bed with me and not putting him back in his bassinet. bummer!

I love that about New York too. The cool cuisine. Andrew is a big fan of sushi, dim sum and samosas!

Micah and Andrew have good parents that share their takeout with them. Arthur and Adaline will never know about international cuisine because their parents order it when they are fast asleep...so they can have it all to themselves.

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
