Ups

• Calvin is waking up around 5:30 these days which is way too early for my tastes. I got up with him but Jaeger took him around 7:30 and I went to back to bed for a bit which was very nice.
• We now have new tires for Motoko.
• I acquired more 12 month clothing for Calvin. I couldn’t find any good winter one-piece outfits but I did manage to find a couple of comfortable looking two-piece outfits.
• Calvin was in a relatively good mood most of the day.
• I had a chance to try out the Traveling Toddler Strap and decided it probably will work for my visit to Washington state in March.

Calvin Moment

• This morning while I was feeding Calvin breakfast, he figured out how to suck in his cheeks and pucker his lips. It was very cute though it made feeding him a little more complicated than usual.

Simplification

• I moved some of my young adult books from our “favorites” bookshelf downstairs to a shelf in our bedroom. We need to spend some quality time figuring out where to put our ever-expanding book collection. I haven’t bought many books this last year but made up for it last night by ordering 6 books for Calvin and 16 for myself (these are all books I’ve read at the library and like well enough to want my own copies).
