toblerone

i really used to be obsessed about my tummy. spent hours away from g trying to work out at the beginning of our relationship. then i learned he actually liked the pinchable bits of flab. yeah, at a whopping 108 lbs i had a lot to worry about, right? but being a mom is so different; kind of puts everything into perspective. i don't even really think of my body as my own anymore. examples?

i think lijah is a boob man. or maybe it's just baby behavior since i've never nursed this long. give him a boob and he'll take it, even if not really hungry. standing up, lying down, watching tv, doesn't matter. if we're both in the tub he'll try to nurse in there. he stands up and does it like he's playing a trumpet. the best part is he's had this chuckle since he was a newborn. he chuckles when he sees my boobs. hey, maybe luci is a boob girl. she likes to grab me too, if i happen to be changing in front of her.

i decided to take a long-awaited shower monday morning, post-call. i filled up the small red baby tub so i could give lijah a bath at the same time. i was undressing him and i heard a *splash*. ran into the bathroom to find luci in his tub, her clothes all over the bathroom floor. surprised to find she didn't mind sharing her bathwater with him. i plopped him in and she dutifully began washing his hair and scrubbing under his chin with a washcloth. she did a pretty good job! that was the best day... a 1.2 hour bath/shower with the kids.
