And We Sleep On Her Trampoline

The Days Are Higher

I made a nice transition towards comfort in the new office space today. It is a whole new world up here, for myself and Yuula. Now instead of having a free for all in the living room she has fulltime access to her own bedroom, plus ours, which really is a better deal if you ask me. Plus I know she won't be getting into food, fire, or the like. So there's that. I did try and leave her down in the living room yesterday while I worked upstairs but that lasted about 8 minutes when I heard what sounded like this...

So that was the end of that experiment. But she likes the change so far. There's still a TV if she wants to watch some Sprout, and there's all new toys and books in her room, so it's kinda like Christmas. Plus she really likes her duck bath, even when it's not bath time.

To play in...

To watch TV in...

Or to take a nap in.

But finally today we did use it for what it was intended for. Bath time,

which she just doesn't get enough of. And it does lower her energy level a notch or two, so it's a little easier to transition to bedtime. I thought I'd put the nail in the coffin with a little Pajanimals sleepy time show but those fools were having a party, singing and splashing and taking rocketships into outerspace. I'm trying to put a baby to bed here Jim Henson. Pull it together please.

Nothing Much Doing

Thursday huh? Laura has gone in a little early because she's gonna "hit the gym". I hope she's referring to the Planet Fitness she's just joined and not some dude named Jim who's pissing her off lately. I didn't ask. Figured I'd hear all about it when she gets home. Which will be late, meaning it's just me and the girl today, but she just woke up and it's 11:30 so... should be a quick day. She's saddled up with a bottle of chilled milk and some Sprout. It's the news show. Love those ants. So clever.

I have no big plans to do. Have some projects at work that I'll get to today. Right now I'm just flipping thru some new music for the 2012 and reading some world news headlines myself. Heard we can now worry about whether or not our orange juice has funigicide in it. Thanks Brazil. And now our Marines get to urinate on enemy combatants after their dead. That's some patriotic pee. Mormons came out today with the admission of dislike for their very own Mitt Romney, joining everyone else on the planet.

In the good news category..................... I learned of new release dates for the Shins, White Rabbits and Xiu Xiu. The Giants are confident about this weekends game against Green Bay. I guess at this point there's not much more I can ask for there so, good news. And I think girl scout cookies are going on sale soon so... silver lining.
