The other big development at Casa de Geej: The highchair a.k.a. ongoing lab experiment in nastiness is no more. Instead, we now have (drumroll) the Kinderzeat!
Overpriced? Yes. But I'll be damned if those Scandinavians don't know how to design some cool furniture. I put this thing together in nothing flat, and it's sturdy and adjustable all at the same time. And you push it right up to the table. My little breakfast area is quite small, and that damn highchair was taking up a whole helluva lot of floor space. Plus, it was ugly. (There's really no such thing as a "pretty" highchair, in my opinion.) Now it's in storage waiting for a garage sale, and I've got this nifty little number to accommodate the Geej's peaches whilst dining. Yay!!
Other news? Well, I'm still sick. It's been a week now, and I've still got the deep, hacking cough of a 3-pack a day smoker. Plus, my entire body aches due to my hardcore coughing fits. No medicine seems to help--even Mucinex, which I've heard works like a charm. And my throat hurts really badly today. I'm so sick of being sick it's not even funny.
This morning when I was listening to K-UT while getting ready, I heard these words, "At 7:00, it's 75 degrees, and 95% humidity." Oy.

Ahhhh yes, the days of toddler wandering. My daughter (who's now 8) started climbing out of her crib. So, my then-husband and I put the baby gate in her doorway so she would at least refrain from wandering the halls at night.
The way we found out she could climb over the gate (which, I guess couldn't have been too hard, since she could already get out of the crib- hey, i had really bad postpartum depression and shit for a while)??
Fast asleep on a Sunday morning, around 8 a.m. And then, about two inches from my face: "HIIII MOMMYYYYYYYY!"
This was also the way I discovered I could jump from a horizontal position.
