Tear Jerker
My wife and I went to a one year old’s birthday in Philadelphia this past weekend. At her house we saw a children’s book that made my wife bawl harder than my son does when he has a poopy diaper. Here’s some exerpts from the book. (Someday by Alison McGhee). It starts with:
Some more exerpts include,
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream, I dream too, …
That someday you will dive into the cool, clear water of a lake, …
Someday you will run so fast and so far your heart will feel like fire, …
Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small, …
Someday I will watch you brushing your child’s hair, …
yadda yadda yadda, ….
Does this stuff make you cry?
Pansies, …

hahahahahahahaha… i can see why it made her cry. i think new mommies are emotional no?
keep in mind, her body and hormones have just gone through some serious shit.
hmph. men.
thanks for the heads up…
ryc: maybe the “pod” benefits because you “love” her? perhaps? i’m sorry if i’m WAYYYYYYYYY off. how’s the baby doing? i love the dutch oven story that your wife posted. i laughed and thought “ahh motherhood……….sucks.” hahaha
it’s so bittersweet… i think it’s something only mothers can truly understand.
