A number of people have commented about Sasha in the last few days: "My goodness, she is so busy!"
This is a simply fascinating remark. Firstly, it implies that other babies are less busy. What, do they spend all day slacking off and playing Nintendo? Do they simply know how to take more time for themselves, rather than dragging their little baby nerves ragged with Sasha's fast-paced lifestyle?
Admittedly, Sasha has trouble unwinding. We may have a Type A baby on our hands. She crawls, she explores, she destroys. At night, she drifts off to sleep in my arms, but the second I put her in her crib, she rolls onto her stomach and looks up, ready for action. This is difficult for her to maintain in her sleepy state, so her head will flop down, her eyes will close for a second, and then she will lift up again and resume whatever she was doing (typically being upset that I am leaving her in her crib).
Perhaps Sasha is too busy. And here we are, not even pushing her into the Suzuki violin program, yet. I suppose I should check out some Baby Yoga DVDs for her, before she develops baby hypertension.
My kitchen is: Weirdly clean. The babysitter mopped today, as a little Valentine's Day gift to us. Thanks, Donna!
