Claire and I ran a couple of errands together this afternoon--a kid's clothes store, Costco, and the grocery store.
A month and a half ago, these errands would have taken me 2 hours, max. Today, it took 5. Our outing including the following:
Public crying fits: 1.
Throw-ups that soaked me to the skin: 1 (an improvement over yesterday).
In-car diaper changes: 2.
Parking lot feedings: 2.
Generous offerings of unsolicited parenting advice: 1.
Strangers cooing at my daughter: >12.
Forehead kisses: >30.
Smiles from Claire: >5.
Before Claire was born, Elliott and I would always refer to having kids as ruining our lives. And we totally have. And it's totally awesome.
