Ready
Lyla has been asking about her mama and dada. It's hard to think that she isn't really capable of understanding that we're coming home tomorrow. She probably thinks her new permanent reality is Grandma Jackie and barfing.
Grandma Jackie is of course worried that Lyla will forever associate her with barfing. Like, Grandma will arrive at our house on Christmas Eve or whatever, and Lyla will take one look at her and barf all over the Christmas tree. That would be hilarious.
It does sound like they had an excellent day today, complete with a trip to the park. Lyla also rediscovered her sock monkey jack-in-the-box and sat with rapt attention while Grandma turned the crank. Jackie estimates she made that thing pop up 2,000 times.
But after a day free of barf, a barf occurred at 6:00 this evening, which is puzzling. We're wondering if Lyla did have a 24-hour bug, but now she's stressing about where her mama and dada have gone. We'll see; the good news is that both Julie and I have the rest of the week off, so a doctor visit might be in order.
Anyway, here we are.
Julie gets mad because she claims I deliberately ruin every picture.
She's obviously wrong, though.
We walked around a botanical garden in Balboa Park, and Julie took photos.
I did my impeccable impersonation of Tim Gunn from Project Runway. "Designers, could you gather around? The flora in this botanical garden will serve as the raw materials for your next challenge. You will have 10 minutes to uproot whatever you can carry, and that time starts now. Make it work!"
Tomorrow we fly back to reality. I'm ready.
