We did our part to lube up the credit markets this weekend by visiting a string of chain stores. We topped it off today with a reluctant trip to Babies R' Us that, I'm pleased to say, was our quickest and most efficient ever. Speed is paramount there, to prevent daddy from having a conniption and/or aneurysm. We came out mostly unscathed, and Ezra managed pretty well in all the shuffling. He's getting to be quite the resilient little lad.
We also brunched this morning with our great friends Alex, Marion, Maggie and Ingeborg. This senior-discount crowd is easily more lively, fun and active than most of the doughy 30-somethings out there. Alex, is easily my favorite
nonagenarian. They were all thrilled to meet Ezra ... and he them.We also took him to meet his future caretaker, Felice. He'll start daycare at Felice's place in January, 3 days a week. He was not exactly on his best behavior for her, but Felice seemed unfazed. She's been doing this for many, many years, and she seemed to have an appreciation of Ezra's charms.
Ez seems to have settled into a pretty good place in terms of eating and fussing. He still loses his cool sometimes, but we haven't had the really rough days of a few weeks ago. I suspect Ash eliminating dairy has done him some good -- good for him, rough for my cheese-worshipping fiance. The whole family owes her a great debt of gratitude.
One more week, and then Ash and Ez depart on their great adventure Eastward. Any advice on traveling with an infant? Post your suggestsion to the comments, or send 'em to blastolives@gmail.com.
And one last thing ... today's Poop Report: greenish-brown, curdled, copious.
Too graphic for you? Hey -- how do you think WE feel?
Love,
Gabe, Ash and Ez
