it helps to sing something

I’ve never made up so many stream-of-consciousness, rhymey songs on the fly before. but it helps to sing something when you’re bouncing him.

I can’t believe something that smiles like this…came out of me.

had the best date yesterday for r’s bday. He planned us going to Longwood Gardens, and didn’t tell me where we were going, so it was a nice surprise. mom watched Hunter at home. and there was a second surprise – when he woke me up at around 11 am, I hadn’t slept all night and was dead tired cause i’d been waking to breastfeed, and told him. So after we’d been walking around all day at the Gardens, he was like, “can’t wait for your second surprise” (he was giving me surprises all day even though it was HIS birthday) and it was that he’d set up lots of blankets and pillows in the back of our van, and said I could take a nap. it was really nice. He drove the hour home in the dark while I was all comfy surrounded by blankets in the back.
