Lawyer Visit

Downs

  • I have a tendency to find things to panic about. Unfortunately, this usually happens when I’m trying to fall asleep at night. Last night I went to bed at 9:30 but didn’t actually fall asleep until sometime after 11. Fortunately, Calvin only woke up once before 5 so I did get some sleep.

Ups

  • Today we went to a lawyer’s office to discuss official wills and guardianship documents! We had every intention of getting this stuff formalized before Calvin was born. However, I went into preterm labor before we managed to make an appointment with the lawyer. At long last, we’re finally dealing with it. We went and talked to a lawyer and received a form to fill out so they have an idea of the scope of the documents we need. The lawyer mentioned that if we can avoid dealing with a trust, the whole thing will be much cheaper but he needs a better feel for our situation to know whether or not that is feasible. Jaeger and I need to fill out the long form we were given and email it back to the office and then we’ll set up another appointment to talk details.
  • Since we went to visit the lawyer today, I didn’t have time to make supper so Jaeger got sushi takeout. The restaurant must not be use to sushi being an entire meal as they gave us dozens of soy sauce packs and at least 7 chopsticks. The sushi was pretty interesting. One of the variations had fried vegetable tempura in the roll. I’m not sure it’s my favorite but it’s definitely memorable. Another one had daikon sprouts which were tangy/spicy.

Cute Calvin Moment

  • During bath time today, Calvin and I played a variation of catch/fetch. Calvin would pick up one of his bath toys and throw it out of the tub. I would pick it up and drop it back into the tub where Calvin would carefully sit down, find it, and then repeat the process. Each time he threw an item out, he’d get this big grin on his face like he was so proud he could throw things. Is was a little repetitious until Calvin started throwing his sieve containers out still half-full with water. I’m afraid I inadvertently encouraged him by laughing each time he did this. By the end of bath time, the bathroom floor was quite wet.

Simplification

  • Got rid of more water bottles and containers.
