photos from Bug’s point of view
Bug and I hit the beach for our favorite breakfast: a doughnut for her, a latte for me. I let her play with my water-proof-sand-proof-idiot-proof camera and she shot these. Not bad, I say. Not bad. I kind of like myself from her perspective.
Here I am in my pajama shirt and bed-head hair. Whatever works, right? At least I’m awake and at the beach instead of with my head in a box (I keep my laptop in a box) and her watching cartoons for hours on end.
This is me being patient. Patient patient patient. I didn’t know she took this picture but I’m really glad she did because I have no idea what I look like while I’m being patient. I have to do it a lot because she is always that far away from me and I’m always wishing she’d hurry up and catch up with me. This is our life.
It’s not so terrible. I needed to work on my patience anyway.

Bug’s first preschool skit
Bug’s First Preschool Skit from secretagentjo on Vimeo.
Yesterday Bug was in her first preschool skit put on for parents. I was so excited to go. Toby and I met each other to go see it and I must have looked at the time on my phone fifty times just to make sure he wasn’t late. I had a whole paragraph planned out in my head for what I would tell Bug if he was late. ‘Cause you know, these things happen. But Toby wasn’t late! He was on time and just as thrilled to be there as I was. I didn’t take any photos but I did film the whole thing. (I’m such a first-time mom.) It was 22 minutes long. I edited it down to one minute and twelve seconds just for you.
She’s the little one in purple. Also, her name is NOT “HELEN-na.” Poor kid. She’s going to get this her entire life. What were we thinking? Her real name is actually pronounced “ha-LAY-na” but just keep calling her “Bug” on this blog. Thanks.
