First Day of Autumn

Posted on September 22, 2005

Our week without a sitter continues. It would be one thing if I could really stay home or if Sean could really do design work with her at the office. It’s a struggle. She is, as she has always been, an angel. But she’s one. She needs things. She needs attention and stimulation and most of all supervision. They ain’t kidding when they say babies put everything in their mouths. She survived a rock, but I don’t want to push it. Sean had her at work this morning. It lasted a total of two hours, interrupted by a coffee break and he took her home. I took her for lunch and then left my car at home and walked her back to work in…
