About a month ago we tried the egg out w/ little girl. She liked it, was eating, and enjoying it. But then I saw these little red dots all over her little face, and realized what was going on! We stopped immediately, washed her up, and moved on w/ our day as best we could - she seemed to not be herself after that. Moving ahead to this am - I thought it about time to maybe try again, only this time just the yolk. Everything was going well - and then, there it was! Little red spots! Ahhhh - not again! So of course we stopped, and washed her up. Poor thing I feel bad - she was really enjoying it, and wanted to eat more. However red spots don't really look good on her : ( Oh well - we WILL try again, and my hope is that she will be able to eat an egg one day. I hope that come her birthday - in 1 month!!!! - she wont have a reaction to sweets, and chocolate! What kind of birthday would it be if that happens?
Changing subjects -
I wanted to talk to about yesterday - Sunday. A beautiful day, a good day all around. Little girl and I went to the Village service - in the evening - so we had the whole day to enjoy and do things. We wen to the park - where I met another mom who was such a pleasure to chat w/. She's a stay @ home mom too, and was saying that she comes to 'our' park a lot. I hope to see her again. We talked to our wonderful neighbor for a bit, and got to meet her granddaughters. We both - Kaia and I - got little naps. Then it was time to go to church - and the trains were running well for the weekend. It took no time to get there w/ plenty of time to spare. I talk got to my sister, which was a pleasure - I hope we will be able to do that more. . . . . - and then we were @ church. And for the first time in 7mo I felt @ easy, and comfortable, like I belonged there. I can't tell you how good that felt. Maybe its b/c we made it 2 weeks in a row! Maybe its b/c I finally feel like this if my church home. Maybe it was b/c I got to sit w/ someone I knew, and wasn't sitting by myself. Maybe it was just a spoof and it was the good weather that was making everything better. Whatever it was, was much needed and much enjoyed! I have always enjoyed the Journey, and felt welcomed, but never like I belonged there. Does that make any sense?
The beach Baptisms are coming up next weekend. I'm really looking forward to that for a few reasons. My little sister is coming to town, and last year Mark and I came down for this same thing to interview for this job. I was very much pregnant, and I remember thinking I could live here in NYC. I remember our drive home, and going across the George Washington bridge, and looking @ that wonderful sky line w/ the feeling that that wasn't going to be last time I'd be seeing it. So next weekend is going to BIG, I'm really looking forward to it, especially now, w/ my newly found 'place' here - wow, this was long post
