As you can see from the picture there are a lot of dependants to love this Valentine's Day! Oscar, Polly and Liam kept me company while Richard is traveling in Boston. It's been a crazy couple of days with pipes bursting at the condo and more snow in Chicago than we have seen in a long time. My hats off to single moms...not sure how they do this full time..between working, tending to the doggies, shoveling snow, assessing condo damage and most importantly..spending as much time with Liam as possible - I feel wiped out!
It makes me appreciate Richard all the more. This life is truly a partnership and I miss my partner. The good thing is that Liam is doing great, he really seems to be learning lots at day care. He has made all kinds of new friends and when we drop him off in the morning all the little ones now shout "baby!"-it's very sweet. Liam is the youngest there and Anne, the day care owner and provider, says that Liam is like a little sponge..he just takes it all in....she said that sometimes he doesn't nap because he is so busy taking it all in! She also claims that he is rather advanced for a 12 week old, of course we knew he was destined to be a smarty pants
All in all the last 12 weeks have been a blur but Richard and I are trying to take lots of opportunity to stop and take it all in. People keep telling us that Liam will grow up so fast, and you what? they are right! The best part about today...Liam had a really good giggle...a real heart felt giggle because I was pretended to sniff his feet and telling him they were stinky! I called Richard so that he could hear him....makes it all worth it..
