random thoughts III

I have found two babysitters and am so happy about it. They both live in my neighborhood and are in their 20s and working at regular full-time jobs. I'm so looking forward to getting some regular breaks.

Yesterday, some friends of ours came over for lunch. They have a six and a three year old. They just moved back to DC from Miami last week and were in PA visiting our friend's mother. As they were leaving the father told the three-year old that they were getting back in the car to go back to DC. The kid said, "is this Florida?" It was so cute. Baby Doodle had a great time staring at the big kids and trying to interact with them.

Last Saturday, baby Doodle, who had shown absolutely no interest in the stairs, climbed the entire flight from the first to the second floor! He's getting so old -- he'll be one on Sunday (April 1). I can't believe it.
