Hello Friday morning. It’s only 10am and we’ve already done almost everything there is to do in the house including Morgane’s morning nap. That’s ok. Aunt Mimi is coming to visit! Morgane is playing in her giant tupperware bin. Lately, she has become quite independent in that she exerts her will by telling me exactly what she wants and doesn’t want to do. She just yawned, so maybe she’s still tired.

All right. Now she’s in her comfy chair beside me so she can tell me what to write in the journal. Her favourite words to hear these days are ‘mama’ and ‘papa’ and ‘zoom zoom.’ Yesterday we went to a place for mothers and she played in an inflatable pool filled with balls. She is captivated by other children and is probably studying them to see what mischief she can concoct in the near future when she becomes mobile.

She seems very content in her car seat wrapped up in her sunflower blanket and pacifier stuck in her mouth like Maggie Simpson. She loves eating her cereal now and I can barely shovel it in fast enough. She is growing up so quickly now.

Morgane and my trip to Vancouver is being planned for May 3 to 12th. I can’t wait to visit with Jennifer’s girls and see my other friends and family and take Morgane all the places where I used to play when I was little. I also will show her the ocean and the beach, the forests and the mountains. Grandma is already planning where to fit the crib.

Sweet girl, she slept through the night last night. We are still swimming every Wednesday night and loving it.

As for me, I’ve given up trying to work during the day. My priority is just to get out of the house and do things. Soon we’ll be dealing with rain more often than snow, but I’m looking forward to warmer weather so that the stroller will roll easier and Morgane can enjoy being less bundled up and seeing more of the world.

That’s all for now. Take care of yourselves.

Love,

Heather
