Brand New Year

So it's the first day of the new year and it's 59 freaking degrees out. This is not typical Delaware weather for January. I should be freezing my butt off instead of going to the park in a polo shirt. I think every parent had the same idea today - take your kids to the park, it'll be the last time they can run around without a snowsuit before April. I let my sweet baby girl run around until she was stumbling with exhaustion, dragged her off the playground - literally kicking and screaming - stuffed her into the car, and hauled her home today. The little stinker still didn't take a nap. I miss those naptimes she used to have when she was tiny. Now that she's 3, she eschews the afternoon nap on weekends. I must be getting broody...

Lack of naps aside, it was a wonderful start to the year. I got to read (yet another) book - I think I set a record for reading books over vacation: I visited the used book store twice, the library once, and Borders twice. I think I have an addiction... Anyhoo, I did my favorite things - read, played with my daughter, cooked, watched TV, everything but eat chocolate and have s... well, the night is still young, ok? Maybe I can get them both in at the same time. You know, start the new year off with a bang!
