Recently, I started going to the swimming pool to work out and do a deep water aerobics class. Jared has has to take the lead on being the parent in charge while I am gone.

Most families would think that this is not a big deal, but the truth is that Cyprus has essentially come with me EVERYWHERE I have gone since I was pregnant with him.

It is a little rough to try to make a transition because Cyprus has been teething heavily, which has made him really, really grumpy. Jared ended up with a grumpy baby that only wanted his mom while I was gone last. He came up with a brilliant solution. Jared turned on the heater and put Cyprus on the floor in front of it. It knocked him right out! Of course, as soon as Targy saw that the heater was on, she had to join the patry too.
