I keep intending to write about my problems with procrastination, but it can wait.
Mark and I still talk about another baby. Sometimes I really want one, sometimes I'm so tired. If we wait till Divina is older, I'll be older, too. My knees hurt. Are there any rentals around? We looked into foster care, but you have to keep them all day and night. Maybe I should start babysitting, like my friend Atasha. You know, just to try it out for a while. I'm not sure how Divina will be with my attention not on her 24/7. She is bothered when I read a book or watch TV. She really hates it when I open the computer. "No Mommy! No computer! No email!" You'd think I tried that once or twice before. Still we have all these toys. It really is like a daycare in here. Mostly, they are in her room though.
She's started removing her diaper and sitting on the potty. This means a lot of running around naked. She doesn't actually pee in the potty or at all. She just sits there for a few seconds then runs around. When she's running from me, clothed or not, she has two "safe" zones: her floor pillows and her animal house (the pop up sandbox that I filled with stuffed animals instead of sand). I tell you, there are few things cuter than a naked baby diving into a mountain of animals thinking she's "safe."
Yesterday was Mark's birthday. Divina sang the song to him numerous times and offered a different rendition each time. For Mark's birthday I gave him the gift of not buying him a gift. We are watching our money and it's all his money anyway, so what's the point of buying him a gift with his own money? Sometimes when we go out and I use my credit card (his money) I say "oh, no, you don't pay, my treat." Ha. Well, for his birthday I made a list of things I would get him if we had lots. A plasma TV, a BMW M5, and a trip to the Philippines, were on the list. I did make him one of his favorite meals, a salmon stew of tomatoes, calamata olives, and capers. He also got a full body massage. Then he snored last night, so I kicked him.

I wonder about the same thing. I am so broken up physically and have arthritis in my knees, how in the world will I handle another baby but if I have my way I'll deal with it somehow. My plan is in 1 1/2 yrs.
But you're on to something, yes just borrow a baby and see how it goes. But you'll have to be inside because outside Divina
may act totally different.
That's a good sign with the potty. Pretty soon, no more diapers. I've heard girls don't give half as much trouble as boys.
HAPPY BELATED Birthday to Mark. That's so funny with the whole money thing and credit card because it's the same way here. Once when I bought Chris something he was opening it and said, now let's see what I bought myself this time. Whatever! It's the thought right?
Man that meals sounds good. See you did get him something for his birthday afterall. And who knows what went on at night! Hehehehe....WINK WINK
Hey, I just thought it would be so cool to know you when your 2nd one comes along or vice versa! What fun things to look forward to.
