Funny Papers

Back from an exciting trip to NYC to meet up with many dear friends. After all that exhausting travel, it was a delight to stop at Mimi and Papa's for dinner and a quick bath before heading home. They especially liked having Papa read the funny papers to them!

After the funny papers had been read (and in the case of some strips re-read) Finn returned to his all consuming work with his trucks while Tess, as usual, preferred to stay and cuddle with Papa.

Separation Anxiety

Our little girl doesn't always like it very much when I leave. We have a new book called "My Working Mom" that is her new favorite because it explains what the kid's witch/mommy does when she leaves for work on her broom. Tess gets particularly ticked when I go to yoga. For example, today.

T: where are you going?

Me: I'm going to yoga while you have quiet time, then we will make a plan.

T: NO YOGA!!!!!

Me: yes, only for an hour.

T: (whimpering) Can't you do yoga at home?

Me: I like to go to a studio, with a teacher.

T: I'm a teacher.

Me:You're not certified.

T: I'm certified.

Me: No, you're not.

T: I am. I really am.

The short story is that after a couple of books, I went to yoga and she is sleeping in her big girl bed - everyone wins.    

Shhh

Fine, if you say I must take a nap, I shall. But I shall fall asleep on the pillows next to my new giant bed, whilst wearing my owl costume, atop my favorite Rapunzel dress. See you verily in a couple of hours!
