Thanksgiving

A little late... but, as is increasingly the case, we've been so busy! Raf is growing and changing rapidly and I can barely keep up! Right now he's with the nanny; his second time with her, and I'm in panera catching up with work. I'm on a break :)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was very low key but, you know, we don't usually do a thing. We now have an American kid, though, and feel some sort of cultural imperative to celebrate this day. And so with that in mind we attended a vegan Thanksgiving potluck dinner and then enjoyed our own Tofurky Day :) Yes, we had Tofurky and it was delicious. We also put Raf in his highchair for the first time, and he enjoyed some of mama's milk from a sippy cup.








We have so much t be thankful for, too. This time last year I was so sick but full of excitement. I remember our neighbors calling to see if we were going to join them for desserts as we do most years, and, after throwing up MANY times that day I had to decline. I remember how it seemed as though I'd always be pregnant, and yet here we are, a year on, with little Rafi who is the sweetest little boy. I could never have known how much I'd love this little poppet and how I could so quickly not imagine having him in our lives.

I feel so lucky.

On the other hand the little tyke is having a hard time napping without me, The only way I can get him to nap - other than being on me lap - is to take him for long, long walks in the stroller. On Thanksgiving day we enjoyed a lovely afternoon trying to get him to sleep. I really enjoy these walks :)
