Chela's last day was yesterday. She brought gifts for Henry (a boat and a truck) and for Eleanor (a baby laptop). We gave her some jewelry and a card. She spoke of her happiness with us these past 6 months (I heard the words muy contento several times) and she gave me a hearty hug. I had to leave promptly to avoid tearing up. I'm grateful I was not present when she gave E one last hug and kiss before leaving.
We got a "smoothie making machine" (Henry's words). It's pretty great. You drink it out of the same cup you blend it in. I've been putting in fruit and berries, flax, yogurt, avocado and almond butter. I put some in E's sippy cup too and she gulped it down.
My good friend Nina came over with her daughter Tess (2). Tess shares my birthday. She is an exceptionally beautiful child. I should have taken pictures. Henry was his typical self with children younger than him (eh....not that great...he definitely takes advantage).
Henry and Mosey went to the jumpy place near our house. Justin will post a video (he says).
We went to Henry's friend Elizabeth's 4th birthday party at her house.
Eleanor started clicking her tongue but it makes that "Why are you so annoying?" smack that I remember all mom's making back in the 70's and 80's, when you smashed, spilled, or broke something. Do people still do that? It's the whole hand on your hip, tilted head, you're an idiot, sound. Eleanor is doing it a lot and it cracks me up.
She's still playing peek-a-boo with her shirt/skirt/blanket.
I read a lot of other people's baby blogs and they get comments. Why don't we get comments?
