On the upside

I finally made it out of the office to get C to the park. It was to be a nice stroll, aside from the heat, except we had to make a detour to the bank.

Five minutes after we left the bank, I glanced in a store window and saw C’s reflection. She was fast asleep.

I did not cuss out loud, because yesterday we heard C singing “crap, crap, crap” after – presumably – hearing her aunt say the word one too many times (true story). But I certainly said a few choice words in my head.

And now I have to take them back. I am sure that C won’t sleep as long without food in her belly, although she did have a few crackers before we left. But she has been asleep for nearly an hour now, and about that I cannot complain. I just hope she will sleep another hour.

And as a bonus, I was afraid I wouldn’t get her down until two, and she would sleep until five. On Fridays, we close at four. This early nap means we might could try our walk again at home this afternoon, except then I’ll be able to bring wine instead of water!
