Catching my breath a little bit.
A busy day again. Went into work for a meeting, followed by another meeting with the woman who is covering my mat leave. Things at the office are fine, but it always takes me longer than I planned whenever I go in. I bring Fynn in with me, and someone always happily volunteers to snuggle with him.

After my morning at work, I picked Sophie up at daycare for her first official playdate at her friend's Abby's house. I was a little nervous about finding the house, since it is out in the country and I'm hopeless with directions but I found it no problem. They played for almosts 2 hours and her mom and I chatted. Nice.

My mistake in the day happened when I dropped into the postoffice to pick up my parcel (a new album for Fynn). Between carrying Fynn who was hungry (and letting me know it) and Sophie who decided this would be the day that she would insist upon not sitting in her carseat (sorry kiddo, it's the law), plus trying to squeeze my body between our car and the nit-wit who parked too close to me, my nerves were just about shot.

We made it home, thankfully. In time for a snack and for Sophie to "dictate" her letter to me to Santa (very cute). Tonight is Vic's night to swim, so I always find it a challenge to juggle Fynn's cluster feeds with Sophie's bedtime routine. Thankfully he is home now, and I have some time to chill.
