And another month. Happy April!! It’s
almost 60 around here, like spring may actually make it to
Vermont. Yay!

We spent Eve’s 1st
birthday with relatively little fanfare. Lex was in an
annoyingly aggressive mood and spent the day running around,
crashing into me, knocking things over, and bopping the babies
on the head. Eve was in a very fussy mood (she’s been like that
a lot lately) and spent much of the day with her head on the
floor crying (whenever Lex bopped her, or bumped her, or she
saw me but I couldn’t pick her up, or who knows why else).
Daycare baby was also fussy and took very short naps. Through
all that Lex and I were able to bake her a super delicious
carrot cake (Carrot Cake Supreme, says my mom’s recipe) and we
had a little singing and cake then an early bedtime. Lex got no
cake (a so-sad from earlier in the day) and didn’t seem too
upset. Eve was a little overwhelmed by the big cake, but
happily ate the small piece I cut for her. I think the real
fanfare will be Saturday :)

My T/TH daycare toddler
will be going to preschool full-time in two weeks, so I’ll be
stopping all together instead of switching to part-time. I had
mixed feelings on the part-time thing anyway. Part of me
thought it would be the perfect compromise, but part of me is
just ready to be done. It was nice (and weak on my part) that
she made the decision for me. Now let’s all hope I made the
right decision in the first place!
