Generally I'm switched onto hyperdrive. I keep Ivy stimulated, her parents feeling taken care of, life running smoothly and initiative flowing. Recently I've been creating an extensive booklist and menu for our upcoming days together. But this week, this week I'm moving slow.
Our Thanksgiving dinner will be at our house. We'll be nine total and I'll do the cooking. Our family and guests are bringing pie, bread, salad and one family favorite. Everything else falls onto me. I'm up to the challenge but it takes a lot of planning and organization. Earlier this week I created my menu, grocery list and organized my recipes. Today I'm going to shop, with Ivy, and tomorrow I'll cook, also with Ivy. Of course everyday life must continue on as well. Ivy still needs her naps, opportunities for tummy time and encouragement to sit. Not to mention meals, reading time and fresh air - which go without saying, right?
Alright - back to work!
Isn't she doing great?!
