My Sidekick



Before i get into more pictures, i'd like to pause for a moment and mention my sidekick. She is brave enough (she doesn't have a choice) to get up at 6:15 am and ride with me for the first part of my journey.


The day for her begins when i turn on the "low light" in her room and i rummage through her drawers for an outfit (don't forget the socks!). This lets her know that i'm in the room and she has to start thinking about waking up, or at least show some signs of life so mom doesn't panic. At this point, my daughter is the two year old teenager. She moves only when i touch and that's to get away from me. I roll her onto her back, and she has to stretch her entire body. I throw her blanket on her face (lightly) and scoop her up and plop her on the changing table. And thus, her day begins.


I must say, the more she starts talking the more interesting my drives get. When i go around curves, she says, "wooohhhhhhooohhh". Must be because i'm a fun driver. She also says, "mommymommywhat'sdatwhat'sdatwhat'sdatmommy?" and it's precisely like that, all one word. Most mornings she's pretty quite. Now that she can see out the window, she has a tendency to be like me and just stares out the window. Although when i'm driving i don't just stare out the window. That would be road hypnosis and that would be bad. Stay tuned for pics. or my walking portion of the commute. Bet you didn't see that coming huh? Yes, not only do i drive a car, take public transportation, i then walk to my urban home.
