The past few weeks we have been housesitting in Barcelona, and today we head back to our apartment about 20 minutes out of town. While I have enjoyed being in the city, I will be happy to be back among my own things, in our own space, and on wood flooring again. Such stress comes with these stone floors when you have a clumsy daughter and a crawling baby who likes to pull himself up on everything and try to cruise about on his tippy-toes.
Still a long stretch of the summer to go before school starts, and much to accomplish. Matilda still shows little understanding of potty use, though she is going more often than not in the potty and communicating that she would like to sit there. Once seated, however, she does not do much...often times, I think she uses the excuse to get out of eating dinner or going to bed. She has us under her thumb a bit, as when she says "Ca-ca" we have no choice but to respond...tricky little monkey.
So all is packed up, and just waiting for the little man to awaken so I can run to the grocery and replenish the goods that we used up during our stay here. Will be buying lots of wipeys, lots. We go through those like gangbusters.
Trying to have a more positive outlook on life these days, and so my positive thought for the day is that I am happy to have the apartment that we live in. It may be small and a bit tight for the four of us, but we have much space compared to most of the other people living on this overcrowded planet. And again, we have wood floors. With extra sponginess underneath for our little adventurers.
