Last Saturday, Edie turned four months old. The weather was good for a change (why didn't anyone warn us that Munich was basically a cold swamp?) so we headed out as a family with our big girl. We finally made it out to the single Mexican foods shop in the city. Mexican food in general is just bad here; I have borne witness both to paprika flavored corn chips as well as unrefrigerated jars of guacamole. But this store was the real thing, albeit itty-bitty.
Afterward, we stopped off at a quickie Asian restaurant for some tofu red curry, and reminisced about how fast time has gone. Edie now sleeps through the night, never naps in our bed with us, and is engaged in the world around her. Where did the time go? Then, like an answer from the heavens, E kicked it old school and began to shriek like she was 6 weeks old again. She kept it up through most of two train rides, finally falling asleep ten minutes before we got home. We felt a little better about her growing up after that.
She can read your thoughts. Stop having them. Before you know it, you are one of those moms crying at the kindergarten door on the first day of school and Edie saying, "mamma, go home. Take dad out to a Mexican place."
ReplyDeleteShe is sleeping all night? That is just so wonderful to hear, she even puts in the effort to cry every now and then to remind you how good she's become. Clever munchin.
