Phew. I am tired, and this was an easy day! Freya slept in, and so did Wheaton...and so did I. In between juggling infants, Aaron doing homework and class, we set up a wading pool for Freya. It has a slide in the shape of a seal. Boo ya.
Some days I can't get over how blessed I am to be the mother of such an amazing child. She smiles at all my ridiculous faces and weird voices (finally, someone who appreciates my talents.) And then there are those things that I am not trying do that she finds so entertaining. I threw her rubberducks in the air and caught (small miracle, I know) them. She giggled, and giggled, and giggled. So, I kept throwing...and Aaron and I laughed so hard we were crying. Well, if you don't have an infant you may think we are just a bunch of sappy, easily entertained folk. If you do have an infant, you know it's true. But we are okay with it.

Freya and I went to Grandma and Grandpa James' today. Granny sang twinkle twinkle little star to Freya, and the second verse. I don't think I knew there was a second verse. Of course I can't remember it now, but it was awesome. Plus, there is just something soothing about her voice, off key though it may be.
And now, I will try (and most likely fail) to get to bed before 1:00 am.
Hope you're enjoying your first Mother's Day, Rainy! Are you still looking for ideas for Freya's first birthday party/cake? We did 'handprints' for Micaiah's 1st and we did handprinting on cards and strung them together as garland and I decorated the cake with little handprints on it, too. (really, really easy shapes for piped icing!!) Anyway, you're welcome to the idea if you want, or I might have other ideas if you want something else. Let me know!
