The two a day nap is coming to an end. As with all infant transitions, I have yet to find an absolute, but we are certainly heading in that direction. This means morning AND afternoon freedom, and we are more than ready. Until that happy June day when we meet baby brother, Winnie and I plan to spend a little less time in the nursery.

One of the perks of a cold resistant child is that we can cheerily wander around the zoo on a February morning with no one but the animals. Winnie greeted everything that moved, and shrieked with delight when she could hear the birds chirp and the meerkats squeak.
