Vapor

Today on our walk to school it was 40º outside. I decided to show Lydia my breath vapor. I picked a sunny spot and took a deep breath. She looked at my puffed out cheeks, I'm sure trying to figure out what Papa was doing. Then I opened my mouth and slowly let puffs of breath out. Lydia looked on in amazement.

At one point she leaned her head forward and tried to chomp on the vapor as it passed by her face. She giggled and had a puzzled look at the same time.

The First Documented Day of Daycare

We apologize for not posting photography from yesterday's trip—our first—to the daycare. Needless to say, it was stressful, and we simply forgot to document the moment.

This morning I went at it alone, with Lydia Violet as my support. Today was the second day that I used an alarm clock, to wake myself up since that early morning nearly four months ago, when I went to the hospital to meet Jen, on LºVE's birthday. It was quite brisk, but I bundled her up and off we went.

The hand-off was painless. Our daycare provider, Marina, is absolutely awesome. I felt as if I was leaving LºVE with a family friend, and I guess she is.

The photos from left to right: 1) LºVE in her seat outside the day care with a plethora of toys and activities in the yard behind her, 2) Marina holding LºVE on my way out the door, and 3) On the way back to the car, one of Marina's four horses came trotting up to me. I am sure the horse wanted a snack, which I did not have.

I look forward to picking up my sweet baby girl at the end of the day.
