mostly i just want to say i made a blog on 1/11/11 at 11pm.
i had a friend in h.s. who told me you could make a wish @ 11:11.
i find i'm not infrequently climbing in to bed at the exact time and it makes me smile to think of her and our haberdashy friendship and imagine what i might wish if i knew for certain it could come true. it's nice way to lay my head down.
1/11/11 has been a good day. but i think the best days usually happen in a way that i'm not smart or imaginative enough to wish for.
i babysat for claire. i really like doing that.
yosi said, a week or two ago, that when claire is here it's like she's our baby. i don't think we're stealing her from my sister or anything by feeling that way, because she is our baby. she belongs to our family, and it shows. not by how she looks, but by how we feel about her.
it is now, officially 11p. i could post right this minute, but i think i'll wait till 11:11p. and tell you a little more about my day.
poor claire is sick. runny nose, cruddy cough. sis took her to the clinic tonite and was told she has some RSV. nothing serious, but she'll stay home tomorrow.
still, sickies and all, she lit up when she saw her sister-cousin. and she was tolerant of all the love and affection showered on her.
we just chilled. watched movies.
made mini-blueberry muffins and rooibus tea.
claire fell asleep in my arms, while admiring yosi cramming muffins into her  face and slurping tea.
after i put layed her down, yosi and i had the rest of our tea under the table.
that was elevensies.
we ate mini tuna melts for lunch. i mean: yosi ate one, after much reverse psychology ("only grown-ups like tuna melts").
there was a coordinated nap-time. as in- they both slept at the same time for an Hour!
what makes me happiest tho,  is that i don't really mind that they don't nap at the same time (if yosi even naps at all). and that's a small miracle, considering how attached i used to be to naptime.
david came home while we were having a dance party to laurie berkner songs, which i just discovered today.
and then later we took a long walk in the snow, ate dinner at the chinese restaurant and went sledding down the ramp at the junior high.
it's 11:11. time to post! good night.
