Happy Birthday and Stuff
Today Sadie got to see her grandmother, great-grandmother, a couple of uncles, an aunt, and a couple of teenage cousins, which doesn’t happen all that often. Deb got my cold so decisively that this almost didn’t happen. Even Sadie has started showing symptoms.
We had cake and ice cream for my mother, who turned 70 today, and me. I was born on her 26th birthday, four sunspot cycles ago. Sadie was an angel! Much better than she’s been before over there. She prefers drinking from a real glass to her sippy cup, and just loved drinking water from my grandmother’s glass with ice in it, or mainly just sucking on the rim and enjoying the cold. We’ve never given her water with ice before.
Anyway, it was fun to see everyone. Then we stopped at the office, where I needed to get some work to bring home. Finally, we stopped at Roche Brothers supermarket, mainly for Sadie food. We were almost out. Got a couple dozen jars. Her latest new thing has been pears and pineapple. I’d only gotten two jars, and we like to give three days of a new food with nothing else new introduced during that time. It’s one of her favorites, so we got a couple of those, and some other new things, mainly combos of ingredients she has already had. We’re planning to give her mangos, but Shaw’s carries those so it requires another stop. I do most of the shopping, so it’s fun for Deb to get to look at and pick out stuff. Plus Sadie was fascinated. Last time we took her in there, for a lightning run for necessities, she was still very little and cried through part of it because we’d pushed her too far. She’s easier to entertain and distract now.
Anyway, enough boring all the non-relatives with Sadie details. I need to actually get into the work I brought home, despite feeling like going to sleep without further delay.
