Truly, Io is an opportunist. Michelle the champion puker, and Io being the champion puke eater, make a good team. Io knows if he simply waits patiently, there is plenty of good puke go around for everyone.
Now, a few words on the reality of being a stay-home mom. This is a hard job. I am starting to see why people pay other people to watch the little people they bore into this world. But at the same time, I can't fathom it! Every day, she smiles more or looks at me longer or reaches out for something that she didn't care about the day before; and I am there to see it happen! I am literally watching her brain grow and connect ganglia and dendrites, making connections to how she sees her world. And yet, it looks terribly mundane from the outside. For example, mopping the floor in my redicilous PJ's (which Michelle now finds simply fascinating) turns Michelle into super-baby. Looks terribly mundane. But her neck is stronger because of that little game. And now that she is sleeping these awesome 10 hour straight stretches at night, I see the change in the morning. Doing her morning yoga the changing table, she smiles at me as if to say "Look mom! My brain grew overnight and now we can do so much more together. Isn't it just wonderful?" Yes, my love. It is wonderful. Every single minute of it.
