Update

So, I have not written in an age. Mostly because my life is about as exciting as an apple that sits in the windowsill until it becomes an old fogy face or a pile of ooze.

But! I thought I'd make even that slow event sound exciting, so be prepared for my amazing writing skills (*cough cough).

I haven't been able to find a job so I succumbed and started nannying for a family down the street. The kids are adorable (softened with a bit of fussiness and really dirty diapers). The girl is nearly one and has the most amazing wardrobe. If she wasn't the size of my calf I might seriously fall to klepto tendencies. Today I was feeding her some lunch (which was difficult because she was using all her rations to feed the floor). Then she shared a bit with me then shoved her food into her face. I cooed at her, "Are you shoving that gold fish into your eye?" and she giggled and kind rolled her head to one side, like "Yeeees."

And the other day she was napping but I heard some noise from her room so I went in to check on her and she was completely awake, just lounging back on her pillow. She saw me and her face broke into this huge smile and she held out her hand to me as if to say, "Hey! I'm just chillin here, in my crib. So glad you could make it!"

Lately she's taken to crawling intensely. She'll think about her destination for a minute then put her head down and charge towards her goal with serious determination. Her navigation skills could use some work though, because she's been running into walls n' stuff. She gets so angry if she has to look up mid-crawl. It slows her down, but... so does the wall.

There's the extent of it. I am blanking on my more exciting adventures with those kids, but more will come, I'm sure, because it's all my life consists of at the moment.
