Jeanne doesn’t like it when I’m using my phone and she wants to play. She would take it and toss it away. I would usually, after playing with her for a bit, pick it up and resume where I left off. But tonight, she took it and hid it under a pillow! Smart kiddo!
Jeanne Is Walking!
This evening, Jeanne surprised me by walking from the living room to the bedroom unaided! She thought I was holding her but I was actually just following her to make sure she doesn’t fall. Her gait is still ungainly but the milestone has been achieved! Way to go, baby love! :*
Babysitting (Again)
Michelle had to go to this wedding of a friend and guess what? It was left to me to babysit Jeanne. Wait a minute! I’m noticing a disturbing pattern here! :P
Babysitting
Michelle had to go to this dinner get-together with some friends. Since her mom, who takes care of Jeanne during weekdays had to go home, it was left to me to babysit Jeanne. She’s becoming such a bundle of energy. While she’s still not walking independently yet (her deadline is this month), she would take your hand and drag you walking around the house. It’s a joy but it can get tiring. Whereas she just keeps on going, and going, and going. Kids are amazing!
What A Difference A Day (Or Two) Makes
During workdays, I often have to drive Michelle to her office then proceed to my office. At the end of the day, I pick her up before proceeding home. That means I spend about 4 hours per day driving! In a month that would be around 100 hours or more than an astounding 4 days! That’s a major loss! You only have a fixed amount of time and can’t get any back. If the time I spend driving can be cut down even by half, I’d have 2 full days per month of my time back. Time better spent with Jeanne, for example. Or learning iPhone programming. Or even just sleeping! If that’s not justification for another car, I don’t know what is!
