Yesterday I took Rachel out of the house while Drew installed shelves in the closet and moved ALL HIS CLOTHES OUT OF RACHEL's CLOSET. Now she has a closet all to her herself! It looks kind of empty without all of Drew's sweaters, but I'm sure it will fill up with tight jeans, oversize blouses...all the clothes I won't be able to stand. Ooh, I can't wait for all the fights about makeup, short skirts, inappropriate shirts....
Anyway, we met our friends Anna and Ruth, who is 3, at a cool coffeeshop near the library with lovely pastries. Rachel crawled around on the tiny playspace, which had two books and a pile of Legos. Once the older kids started playing with the Legos, she got right into the fray and took the Legos apart then handed them back to the kids. She also cuddled on my lap. I think Anna has a complex because Rachel refuses to let her hold her, but I'm sure that will change. Bet Anna will be one of her heroines someday, someone she can talk to because MOMMY JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ME...
Then we headed south to Doug and Linda's. Their boys, Andrew and Jack, very sweetly went up to their rooms and kept coming down with toys for Rachel to play with. She was very interested in some play fruit, a puzzle and a wooden box with different-shaped blocks she could pile into the box. At around 3 p.m. I pulled her into my lap and she fell asleep on my chest! Babies get so sweaty and hot when they sleep.
Then I got home and Rachel threw the most amazing temper tantrum last night during her bath. She was also very cranky on the changing table this morning. I finally leaned her against my chest and stroked her back and she immediately calmed down. She's so adorable most of the time, I hope she's not entering an unpleasant new stage.
