Here is how my day went today -
5:30am - wake up, eat, shower, pump milk
6:30-8am - taught a private yoga lesson to a sweet and dedicated yoga student.
8:15-9:15am - took my own yoga practice
9:15-9:30am - dropped Isabella off at pre-school
9:30-10:30am - nursed Melanie, cooed at her, made funny faces, got drooled on, changed diapers
10:30am- 12:30pm - nursed Melanie to sleep in bed, cuddled, drifted off to sleep with her
12:45 - picked Isabella up
1-2pm - made paneer (Indian cheese) with Isabella while Melanie watched. Isabella LOVES making cheese, loves eating it even more.
2-3pm - nursed Melanie, played with her while Isabella watched, participated, and interjected in various ways - "Melanie, you want to hold this rattle?" and "Oh Melanie, you are such a cutie pie!" At one point, both kids were in my lap cuddling me and Isabella said "All the girls of the family are here!!"
3-4pm - took a bath with Isabella while Melanie swatted at the hanging plastic birds/fish in her Fisher Price musical chair. Bath time included foot scrubs and a bubble bar from Lush. The bubble bar was filled with gold dust/glitter, so the whole bath got sparkly. Isabella was delighted to say the least. All in all, some very girly time.
4-5pm - put Melanie down for a nap, proceeded to get some 1:1 time with Isabella. Play time included book reading, airplane-ing (think - me on my back with Isabella balanced up in the air on my feet), and tickling
5-7:30pm - Melanie continued to nap while Isabella and I cooked dinner together. Isabella is now quite skilled at garlic peeling and pepper grinding. In addition, she took some of the cauliflower I was using, put it in one of her toy cooking pots, put the pot in the microwave of her toy kitchen, and turned the microwave on. She requested some towels to take the pot out of the oven so that she didn't burn herself, and also asked for a trivet so that she could put her play pot of food on the table. SO cute!!!
7:30-9:30pm - Heath, Austin (Heath's sweetie) and Michael came over for dinner. Much relaxation and gluttony resulted.
I love my life!!!!!
Juliet - I can hear your uterus weeping softly.

1) I remember when you used to do the airplane-ing thing with me when I was little. It's a little funny to think of that now, given that I'm probably about 20 lbs heavier than you.
2) You are right. My uterus is making a sad frowny face right now.
Juliet -
I can still airplane you. I learned how to airplane adults from a partner yoga book (no joke).
Also, there is no way you are 20lbs heavier than I am. The fact that I am 43lbs less than before I gave birth does not mean I am stick thin, it means I was really really huge while preggers.
