Back to Work for Bryn



Well, unfortunately Bryn's leave ran out and she had to return to work today. She will be at work two days each of the next two weeks before returning to her normal 30-hour per week schedule the first full week of June. Sophia is pretty skeptical about not having mommy at home, but hopefully daddy can keep her occupied for the next couple of months.


Today, Sophia is still a little fussy following her two-month doctor's appointment and shots (five of them!). She ran a slight fever last night, but by this morning her temperature was back to normal. In an effort to replicate yesterday's first "roll-over," daddy and Sophia engaged in a little bit of playtime. Sophia, however, did not seem all that interested in rolling over again. "I eat, I poop, I smile, I even roll over," Sophia says, "and these people just want more, more, more. I believe I will engage in a one-day strike today!"

And, when daddy tried to break the strike with some tough negotiating tactics, Sophia decided that physically restraining daddy was the only option. "I told him: 'no more new things; not today,'" Sophia exclaimed. "Since he would not listen, I will hold him down until he cannot take it any more."

Ultimately, daddy relented and allowed Sophia to enjoy an uninterrupted nap, which she is doing now. Later today, depending on the weather, we may take a walk. But, this will probably just be a lazy day around the house to allow Sophia to fully recover from yesterday's immunizations. More to come tomorrow...
