We pulled the Bjorn out again and tried it in the front-facing position, what fun!!! I had a whole new perspective on things. Dad loves it too.

There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you all. I know it looks like we have this perfect little life, Mom, Dad and Me. But this is an internet blog, and it’s supposed to be about my deepest darkest feelings, right? So I have to share this with you. We have an addict in the family. That’s right, Dad is a Chocoholic. But please don’t pity me. He has it under control.

You see, without Chocolate, Chocoholics have trouble functioning in daily life. They’re ornary, have trouble concentrating, and their sense of humor is completely diminished, almost non-existent. Through the help of CA (Chocoholics Anonymous) Dad has learned that he must seek Chocolate on a daily basis to keep his Chocoholism under control. Luckily we have a chocolate shop right down the road.

So every day, to help Dad cope, the whole family goes on an outing together to the chocolate shop.

…. and we get Dad his Chocolate…

It’s the least we can do to help him, he suffers so. I feel so much better getting that off my chest. Like I said, don’t pity me. We’re a strong family and we’re coping.

I met my new nanny yesterday!!! Her name is Maggie and she is soooo sweet, but not as sweet as my Mom, of course.

Mom is going back to work next week so yesterday we had the nanny join us for our daily routine. Mom wants her to learn the ropes so I’ll be well taken care of while she’s not here. Mom is really sad about going to work, but I don’t know why. Maggie seems very sweet and she loves to play with me. I’ll be fine while Mom is working, really.

In other news, I got another letter from my cousin Vivi.  Sorry for the huge photo, but I wanted you all to see Vivi’s excellent handwriting:

 In case you can’t read it, it says “Your Cousin, For Tess, I’m Vivi.”  Gotta run, Mom wants to spend the day outside while the weather is nice.
