rose: lately, i've been feeling a little more like a normal person around my house, and less like someone with small children. i think it's because otis is more and more toddler like all the time, and less like a baby. which means that he and éamon are playing together more. he is also napping better, so today, during the rainy part, while otis napped, the rest of us watched a movie together.

another rose: i'm also excited, because i've started planning our next vacation. we're gonna go to new york city next summer, and to find suitable accommodations, one has to start early. i think i've found us a great airbnb, and have been looking for age-appropriate activities, to make this one as great as our last trip (to mexico).
