Flirt, part 2


This is a photo from when Liam was about two weeks old. A friend of mine saw it back then and immediately said, "What a little flirt!" Well, maybe so...

All these months of flirt-practise have finally come in handy. Yesterday we went to our playgroup for the first time in several weeks (since we were finally back in town, without company, etc.) And we met a new friend. Autumn is two months older than Liam, almost to the day, and he is really quite taken with her!

She is old enough to sit up and play on her own. He was confined to an exersaucer from which he stared forlornly at her. Every now and then he would bang some toys around and shriek, and when she looked up from what she was doing (in an exasperated way, I might add - like as in, What the heck is so much more important over there than what I'm doing here?) - he was all smiles and giggles and coos. That was the first playgroup he hasn't fallen asleep at. He was so enraptured with her.

We both (all) plan to be back next week so we'll see if the romance continues. Sorry I don't have much more of an update for today. Our new running schedule is messing with our nap schedule in a serious way. Up is down, day is night, left is right, black is white... you get the idea. Liam just went down for his first nap of the day, and I have a list of things a mile long to get done before he wakes up. I figure I have about 35 minutes left. Wish me luck.
