larger than life

i took elenora over to j.'s work yesterday so that his co-workers could meet her before he leaves. she was so sweet.

i stood back and watched j. taking her around and she looked so small in his arms. usually she is in my arms or so close to me that i don't really get that perspective. to me, her personality is so big that she seems a lot older than she looks when she's just a baby in someone's arms.

j.'s last day of work is friday. it's kind of weird to think about how everything will change. i'll be glad to have him around more. and it will be so nice for him to not be as stressed out all the time. he's got a lot of violin students and some gigs, and he's going to start some fee-for-service work at the North Shore Counseling Center. also, j. just started a class at G.C. to finish up his degree. so he's still pretty busy.

i'm feeling tired after watching two babies yesterday afternoon. it really causes me a lot of inner stress when both of them are crying at the same time. the problem is that usually it means they are both tired... but how do you put a baby to sleep with another baby screaming in the other room? you just end up with two really upset babies. i hope i get better at this. it's my least favorite part of the week. i'm glad we have a babysitter for two of the other days, and momB does mondays.

people with twins must go nuts.
