    Mama’s Little Helper

    When I was pregnant and setting up the “baby’s room” slash “office” I thought that someday I might have trouble with the baby “interfering with my work”. I day dreamed of a wiggly little body crawling right off her changing pad and drooling on my laptop keyboard.

    What I didn’t realize was that it would happen much sooner than I ever thought.

    Good Behavior Bug

    I’m so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open as I type this. But I had to check in and let everybody know that the big day with Baby Bug was a complete success. Mostly because her Auntie Heather aka Comfortably Crazy worked her motherly magic on Baby Bug. My sister-in-law was meant to take care of babies. Some women are just like that. Not me. I think I’m better with bigger kids. I guess we’ll see…

    The big photo shoot at the mall was great. Baby Bug rode around in the baby carrier on Auntie Heather while I dodged all the crazy shopping women and took a photo of every single vendor in the mall. Three floors of tables and displays of plants. Phew! If anybody has a green thumb I strongly recommend this show.

    After the photo shoot, we headed over to my meeting and Baby Bug made me so proud. We carried in my big black presentation boards and of course everyone gathered around to see the baby and then you know what Baby Bug did? She smiled grin after grin after grin. Her cheeks were bulging and her arms were waving around like babies do when they get happy with their whole body. It was wonderful. No screaming, no quivering lower lips, no pterodactyl shrieks… just smile after smile! This kid always surprises me. The meeting was short and sweet and before we knew it we were back on the road and calling it a day.

    Phew! Goodnight, I’m going to bed.
