Ha Nu

We were up bright and early on New Year’s Day and got to the park at about 8:30AM.  I love going to the park early; I don’t need to worry about gangs of  5 year olds trying to play Lord of the Flies with J.  Also, she’s getting more sure-footed everyday–it’s great relief for both of us.

As you can see, she needs a haircut. After much dithering, I made an appointment with one of the local Kidcut-type places.   I hope that it isn’t torture for her–they have cars for the kids to sit in and DVDs for them to watch and I just want the rats’ nests to be out of the hair.  My mom is coming to visit later that day, so even if J has a rough time, Nana Bearskinstein will help her out.

At the moment, I am home ALONE. Daycare is open and work is closed. Two of my co-workers are in the same situation–we are taking our respective babies to daycare, and having a day of R and R.  J slept with me all night and woke me up at 5AM and so I need a lot of R.  Happily, I made plans to go for a run with a friend an then we’ll go to brunch.  I suspect my afternoon will consist of napping and cleaning because my apt is a big disaster.  But I would love to go to a movie…we’ll see.

J is becoming familiar with some holidays.    She likes to say, “Hanuyear!”  Yesterday she saw a mini-Xmas tree at my neighbors house and said, “Hamukah!”  My mother was positively gleeful when I told her about the Christmas tree confusion.  I thought it was terribly cute, especially since I was at my neighbor’s house campaigning for some New Year’s Day Pernil (roast pork) and Yuca.  I ate the pork for dinner, but J didn’t like it.  Let me repeat that…MY DAUGHTER DOESN’T LIKE PORK!  More glee from my mom.  I am mystified…pork is the best thing in the land!  But not to J…when I ask her if she wants dessert, she says, “MATOES!”  She’s probably better off with her tomatoes, but I’ll stick with my pig.

Ha Nu Year!
