The Weekly Whodowha?

I've been having a difficult time getting to blog recently because my days just seem to be so all-consuming. Nursing, playing with trains, nursing, doing dishes, nursing, going to the playground, nursing, driving the napmobile, nursing, going to Trader Joe's, nursing, making dinner, nursing, and finally sleeping. But, all the while, I have written about a thousand blogs in my head. They are just dying to get out into cyberspace, but now that I'm online, I'm too tired to actually write creatively. SO - I'm wimping out and giving you the weekly report on Who's Doing What.

Rose is:

• cooing, smiling, and going brrrrrrr
• spitting up like a little fountain (The Fountain of Youth, Cap called her once... har har)
• having a harder time sleeping during the day but at night... whew! she is amazing. Last night Rose slept from 9:30 to 5:30. Unreal.

Eleanor is:

• hot to trot in her lovely headband which she insists on putting on herself
  
• saying "That's fine!" when you ask her a question like, "Would you like some raspberries?" But I'm not sure if she means yes or no... when I asked her what that meant she said "I want to say That's Fine." So, I dropped it and gave her a few raspberries which she didn't eat.
• saying "oh my gosh!" which is hilarious to me
• obsessed with Nighttime, the moon, and the sunset. She says "Nighttime is coming! I want to see nighttime coming, Mommy!"
• sleeping better, but last night she woke up around 1:15am screaming. But then she slept until 5:00am, came in with me, and then slept until 8:30am. So, that's not too bad, I guess.

Cap is:

• in need of new sneakers, but not new laces!
  
• Well this is the big news of the week: CAP LAUNCHED HIS BOAT! It was beautiful. He launched it down at the marina (Eleanor calls it the "Barina") down by National Airport on the Potomac. It was a beautiful day - clear and breezy - and the setting was gorgeous except for the Delta Shuttles and American Eagles landing over our heads every 10 minutes, or so. The boat is lovely - not only does it float (who knew?!) but it sits perfectly at the waterline as Cap designed it to. We got some crappy video of the launching, which I'm disappointed by, and I'm not going to put it online, but I will try to get some photos of the launch up soon.
• I swear I don't know that large-bottomed lady in that photo... I'm too lazy right now to crop her out, so just try to focus on the loveliness of Cap's sailboat.
  

I am:

• still able to do a handstand at the ripe old age of 32 - Eleanor was totally unimpressed, she was more happy to be holding my car keys.
  
• blogging internally. As I mentioned before, I have written blog after blog in my head, so stay tuned for it all to pour out one day soon.
  
• intrigued, but a little disappointed in the premiere of Studio 60. I'll definitely keep watching it but I thought the script was a little muddy (although I appreciated the metaslam on contemporary television) and I couldn't stand the blank but happy look that Amanda Peet kept on her face the whole time.
• loving the new season of the Amazing Race! Althought it was a little weird that the Muslims and the Hindus were the first eliminated.
  
• enjoying our new stroller - now that the weather is getting nicer it is a huge relief to get outside with both kiddies in one stroller, and I love that it is so small and light and beautiful to look at. Also, I read on DaddyTypes that Jon Stewart has one! woohoo!
