After the Rain
Today was a beautiful day in Chicago. 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Since it has been raining for about a, um, month, I took babygirl outside (ga-Gaaaaaah) for a walk (a-wah, a-wah) four times today.
Once to get breakfast. In which I struggle 2 bagels, 2 large cups of HOT coffee, a 13 lb stoller and a 24 lb babygirl down 2 1/2 blocks then up 2 flights of stairs.
Once to the playground. In which I make tentative conversations with three other mothers as we watch our daughters approach and retreat. They don’t really play with each other as much as near each other.
Once to get ice-cream. In which I, well, get ice-cream. Babygirl plays at the fountain until she poops.
And then finally for dinner. In which Topspun, babygirl and I have a lovely dinner at the neighborhood grill. Babygirl is adorable and the food is delicious.
It’s a good thing we live on the third floor after all that food. It’s a good thing I’m going back to work, or I’d spend all our money.
