I may have 112 blog posts that I’ve started yet haven’t finished (no joke!), but in the meantime I thought I’d share with you snippets from our day.
The peanut is sick and so the computer came out and she got to watch YouTube clips of Giada De Laurentiis’ tv show Everyday Italian. I kid you not. Our daughter LOVES cooking shows. And she only gets to see them when she’s sick with a fever or when I’m trying to detangle her hair and need five minutes of distraction. (I’ll embrace anything that keeps her from screaming and crying while I try to brush through her curls!)
So we spent the day snuggling in mama and daddy’s bed, playing card games and cat’s cradle, reading stories, and vegging in front of the computer. Oh, and she took two naps. That was the first clue something was up: our daughter who NEVER naps fell asleep. Twice. And, yes, she slept on top of me and, yes, I’m savoring the snuggles.
Hey, I also made applesauce, dyed pink from the red gravenstein apple skins:
A low-key, quite lovely day.
Oh, poor thing. But sounds like she had a soothing day. Btw, your favorite thing to watch on TV? The tape of Florence Nathan instructing how to make simple delicious food in your Cuisineart! (She too kept it fun and simple and you loved seeing how easy it was to make cheesy breadsticks — I believe we made them too!)
