Stepping On My Toes!

"Just be careful of what you put in writing, as it could go on record for all to see."

So goes the last sentence of my horoscope for today. I am slightly, if not neurotically superstitious. Which poses the question, what could I possibly write that may come back to haunt me (or anyone else), just when I have so much to say?

Hmmm... with a certain amount of trepidation (and perhaps enlisting a neutral fact checker) I venture forth!

First, let me apologize for not posting since March 6. I had the best of intentions to give a head's up that Milo and parents were coming for a visit. It was fabulous, and I don't mean that in any kind of boastful way. Milo was left in my charge on a number of occasions and we had the most wonderful time (which is not to imply that other grandparents don't enjoy the same privileges as well...I'm just saying).

I must confess to a bit of a learning curve. Our first day out was a bit of a challenge. I made the mistake of not asking for a tutorial on the art of unfolding the stroller. Milo sat ever so adorably on the floor, patiently waiting for his Gaga to assess the situation as the stroller stubbornly resisted my every poke and prod. I was sweating bullets when out of frustration I shook the thing and it magically righted itself. Milo clapped, as did I, and we were off to the park, where, by the time we arrived he was fast asleep.

We enjoyed a delightful lunch at Bloomingdale's. The setup time was a bit intense as I figured out how to attach his high chair cover, which I am not entirely sure wasn't on backwards. The disposable Nemo placemat took me some time to apply to the table top, which was summarily peeled off in two seconds flat by my nimble grandchild. But, once situated, we enjoyed sharing a quiche with a side of cheerios and bananas, as Milo waved to all the shoppers passing by.

So, as you can see, I have been preoccupied with what matters most. And I do believe, I may have gotten through this posting without stepping on any toes, well, perhaps except my own!
