Every time I have Louisa for a full day, I feel a little bit more confident. That's not still very confident, but figuring out how to do the "normal" things (e.g., brush teeth, walk dogs) while also taking care of a baby has the same attraction I find in solving puzzles. Today's puzzle: How to take the dogs outside--on the front lawn, which they're not used to (because of the roofers blocking the back door)--without the hassle of dressing up Louisa and putting her in the Baby Bjorn since she looked pretty calm and might fall asleep anyway.
Solution: Pop Louisa in the Cradle 'N Swing and let her watch the SportsCenter Top Ten Plays.
I'm not too proud of the solution, but it worked. (Good thing I remembered the keys so I could get back in!)
The whole process would have gone faster--and more smoothly--if the dogs hadn't barked like crazy to everyone who passed by (and we live on a high-traffic road). In lieu of coal in their stockings, dear Santa, please give each dog a voicebox-ectomy.
Tucker loved his swing, too!
