What I didn't know...

Spring has sprung. And Miles and I are really starting to create a nice schedule for ourselves. Mondays we volunteer at the library, we help the nice Danes in our neighbourhood speak Spanish. Tuesdays we go across the street to the local community centre and attend a tumbling class. Wednesdays are reserved as a rest day. Thursdays and Fridays are the days we generally visit with friends and do our shopping. Speaking of shopping, it seems that each week I have to get Miles something, a new hat because it's warner, new pants because he's grown out of his, I had no idea kids "needed" so much stuff! And speaking of things I didn't know....

-I didn't know that I could be such an entertainer, Miles laughs at me when I bend over to clean the floor, when I turn my head away from him, when I jump, when I sing, when I talk to him in Danish, the list goes on and on.

-I had no idea that I would ask total strangers how old their baby is, just to see if they are older or younger than Miles, and to see what I have to look forward to.

-I did not expect that getting three hours of interrupted sleep would be something to celebrate.

-I never knew that having a little one would be like having part of your heart living outside of you.

And so here we are, 6 months later and having the time of our lives!
