worst mood of all time
I’m in a better mood now.
Everything’s alright.)

The Things Lucy Can Say
by Leslie
“I did it!” and “Look at this!”
“dog,” “cat,” “quack! quack! quack!”
she claps, points, and shakes her fists
“yes” “no” “no no NO!”
she’s got more to say but in
a different way
she tells me “more,” “all done,” “milk”
and “change my diaper”
“How many words does she have?”
and I say “plenty”

I thought just plain getting up
was a big challenge.

I use a Moby Wrap to carry Lucy while I walk.
Every day, I strap it on and tie it in the back. Like this.

I apologize for the poor quality of the photo. (P.S. Dave took it.) And it was taken before I learned how to remove the date stamp from my camera. I’m not even going to talk about the pants I’m wearing except to say I walk early in the morning and we should all feel lucky I’m even wearing pants.
Anyway.
I’m supposed to bring the wrap back to the front and tie it there, but there’s been a little too much of me and not quite enough fabric to do it. Until this morning when I put it on and I COULD TIE IT IN THE FRONT!
One of my walking buddies spotted me and before I even had the knot tightened was shouting, “YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT!”
We jumped up and down and squealed and then walked four miles around the track. Well, she walked on the track. I walked on air.

I’ll melt your face off with my
