Oh my goodness.

I’m sitting on the couch.

With my cup of coffee.

And it’s quiet. Minus the sound of the washer running.

It feels like I haven’t experienced this in a very long time.

We kept Ishu home for most of last week because of his cough. And, even though it’s not entirely gone, he’s fine. The doctor says he’s fine. Ankur says Ishu needs his routine back. And I, for one, am not mad about it.

The baby is napping and I am definitely appreciating the silence.

Wait, I’d just like to add that right after I typed that sentence, the baby started crying from the bedroom.

Ha. I swear they just KNOW when you’ve sat down to do something for yourself and they’re like, “NAH. NOT HAVING ANY OF THAT, THANKYOUVERYMUCH.”

Okay, I’m back one hour later.

Just going to quickly upload some photos from the weekend before I am summoned again.

On Friday, we went to Jenn’s house for the day. It was so nice to spend the day momming together. Love getting both sets of besties together. <3

On Saturday, we didn’t do too much. . We were originally going to go to the zoo for Trick or Treat at the Zoo, but we wanted to get Ishu to nap since his sleep has been so disrupted because of the cough. So we just did a quick walk down the Navy Pier to check out the Halloween decoratiosn.

And, on Sunday, we made a Costco run (baby’s first Costco trip!). Can you spot him behind Ishu in the cart? Ha.

From there, we dropped off the groceries and then went straight to a birthday party. Ishu was so happy to see his friends and loved the bounce house. It was also the first piñata experience for him. So that was pretty fun.

And that’s it!

Now I must go back to this other child who is very confused why his mom just plopped him on a swing and disappeared (I didn’t disappear. I’m right behind him. But he doesn’t quite get that yet, y’know?).

OKAY BYE!
