Today is day three of Matt at work and me at home. It's going surprisingly well; even when I get stereo screaming, it's just not as overwhelming or anxiety-inducing anymore. I feel more practiced and confident at this mom thing. Hear that, girls? You can't scare me anymore! I'm onto all your tricks.
Being a stay at home mom is dangerous, though. I'm not making any money, and it's way too easy to go shopping every day. The girls are always quiet and happy in their stroller, and the same old neighborhood walk gets boring. But there's Flatirons! And the Highlands! And Cherry Creek! And Lodo! It's so pleasant and indulgent to go leisurely shopping on a weekday afternoon. It makes me feel like the ladies who lunch. I just have to remind myself that they're rich and not buying formula and diapers for two.
And now, have a sweet little Hayley face. I'm proud of this picture; she's a hard one to shoot. She inherited her mother's knack for always having her picture taken in a weird expression and with multiple chins. But here is a glimpse of baby serenity!
