Excuse the quick post but Lauren and I have been taking turns being sick lately. First her, now me. I guess that's how it goes. We both look and feel dreadful so forgive the lack of photos of our little bean as this clearly isn't a Kodak Moment we wish to capture.
Lauren is on the mend ... not so lethargic but her cough and congestion (who knew a little one year old could produce so much mucus?!?) is lingering which complicates breathing and sleeping so Henry and I have been quite the doting parents.
Last night, I took a look at myself in the mirror after a week and a half now of Lauren being sick. I saw a disheveled, unkempt version of myself with some bonus accessories that Lauren had provided without my knowledge --- her snotty nose remains peppered my shirt and found two Cheerios stuck to my pant leg. First, I wondered how long it had all been there. Then, I exploded into laughter. With pride and pleasure, I said to myself:
Yes, you're definitely a mommy!
I promise new photos of Lauren soon!

I was at a Super Bowl party and looked down to find food smeared ALL OVER my shirt. Some woman (whom I DID NOT know well enough for her to be able to say this) pointed to Libby's food-stained shirt (she'd been feeding herself watermelon) and said, "You and your daughter look exactly alike!" Ouch. Mommy moment indeed.
