I don't spend much time around kids...babies especially. In my family all the kids are grown, and while many of my friends have kids - I tend not to spend a whole lot of time hanging around when the kids are in tow :) When I do spend time with kids, their parents are usually present - but today I had a chance to test out my babysitting skills...and they are a bit rusty!
I spent my day with Daniel, age 1. He and I threw keys and cherios, waved at strange ladies, and made buzzing sounds with our lips. There was some laughing, some crying, and some napping (only Daniel got to nap, unfortunately). As I mentioned yesterday, friends of mine moved today, so I kept an eye on Daniel while the movers were doing their thing. Lots of the time Daniels mommy was around, but lots of time she wasnt. Fortunately, we both survived the whole ordeal, and I have a feeling we both will sleep quite well tonight. I rewarded myself with a cupcake from Cafe Selmarie for all of my hard work. I consider myself to be a cupcake expert, and this one was actually quite good. It could be because I bought it at 9am and didnt eat it until 5pm, and thus I was so hungry for it that it didnt matter - but I dont think thats the case. I think it was just plain old delicious!
Here is a picture of Daniel helping his Mom pack the other day:
Rest of my Day
The rest of my day wasnt much - most of it was spent hanging out with Daniel. I also went to the driving range and watched Jeff hit some balls, went to Home Depot and bought some flowers and went to Pilates. On my way walking to Pilates, my shin started to hurt. It hurt a bit last night, but this was worse. I got to Pilates, and it was the same old thing - the instructor is totally focused on our abs, and I think that by now I should have a six-pack (after only 4 sessions...its that hard)! I know that Pilates does focus a lot on the "core" but this is crazy. Its all we do and other people I know in Pilates dont do anything like what we do. I am pretty sure my instructor has made up his own form of exercise, Ablaties. On the way home my shin hurt too...so I am icing it now. The joys of being me.
Tomorrow - Pasta Party
Tomorrow I am hosting a pasta party for Team in Training. We are going to load up on some carbs, and also do some fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society. While I should be using my time to study (and yes, I should have studied today!) I will instead be planting flowers, running errands, and cleaning. OOPS. Guess I will be pulling an all-nighter before my comps to squeeze in some study time. How very mature of me.
