Going beaching

I took a bunch of pictures today of piper with the good camera, but what'dya know, I like the camera phone picture the best. Would you look at that posture? Do you have any idea how much work it is for pipsey to sit so straight? honestly, I don't, but I DO know how insanely crooked her back is (you can feel it significantly by just patting her on the back) and how bad her slouching used to be. Brilliant therapists. And piper, way to go...wearing your scoli jacket even though you hate it and it makes you grouchy. I'm so very proud. Also, I'm trying to teach piper to be nice to mommy for cryin' out loud. We all know pip loves to tap things, well let's take it easy on tapping my neck and throat, k? Your nails are like little razor blades. Even when they are short. I'm pretty convinced she knows what naughty is.

It has been harder, and harder and HARDER (yell that last one) for me to leave this baby. I'm working on a way to spend more time with her. I'm doing all I can. I know it's hard for everyone to balance wifeness, motherness, and workness, but I think the fact that they are all separate locations makes it a little more complicated. Woe is me.

Heading to the beach! Hooray! Virginia beach! Last time I went, I was 5-ish. I think it was my first time going to the ocean and I was certain there were sharks everywhere. All I cared about was pretending to be a mermaid. But then a wave took me out and I drank my weight in salt water. I decided a post-sea-witch-mermaid was the way to go from then on and I happily played in the sand.

Bye!
