Baseball and Green Beans

Yes, the two do have something in common. Sort of.

Tomorrow is Roisin's first baseball game; a group of us from work are taking time off to go see our team play tomorrow and Rob and Roisin are coming along too (along with oh, 50 + other people from other division and other divisions.) It should be a blast---when I went last year, the experience almost made me a devout baseball fan. There's just something about seeing the game live (versus with commercial interruptions and inane commentary) that makes it fun...even if you're like me and the minutiae of baseball eludes you. Rob can keep track of it, which means I'll be with at least a few other people who really get it. Me, I'm just there to have a good time.

And here's the green bean segue. Roisin is finally getting used to veggies. We've been trying to wean her slowly onto solids and per our doc's recommendation, we started with cereals and veggies. She likes squash, is not so fond of peas, but loves her green beans. Next week we start on carrots and apple-vanilla-multi-grain puree. The adventure continues.....

Clean Sweep

Ugh. Rob and I spent all day today cleaning out our bedroom. See, our apartment is small and "cleaning" usually consists of moving stuff from one room to another and then shutting the door. It eventually occurred to us (five years and three apartments later) that all we've been doing is moving stuff that we probably should have gotten rid of...oh, say five years and three apartments ago. So that's what we did today. We took turns baby-watching, and after getting rid of nine boxes of garbage, we've managed to reclaim our bedroom.

And an added bonus: Roisin will be able to use her crib soon, since Rob now has enough room to put it together for her. She's only nine months old so I figure we haven't won the "Procrastinating Parent" award. Yet. :-)

For starters

My name is Krista. I have a daughter, a cat, a full time job and a husband I love. What I don't have, sometimes, is a lot of patience. But I'm trying. I'm new at this parenting thing too and I worry about doing something that'll land her in therapy one day. ;-) She's sleeping now, so tomorrow we all get another chance to get it right.
