Yesterday, I survived my first train ride with two babes. Survived isn’t even the fair word to use. It was a huge success. It was almost easy. Luisa didn’t nap, but we still had a good time. Mateo snoozed. There was colouring and new books and stickers and a picnic complete with a “tablecloth” made with two colourful napkins. I was most relieved that Luisa didn’t insist on running up and down the train car and sat very nicely in her spot.  I even heard a woman on her phone comment how good my kids were. It was definitely a proud mama moment.

Good night, hair!

Tonight, I cut Luisa’s hair. Then I left the trimmed bits lying on a towel while I got her ready for bed. As she came back into the living room for her good nights, she added one for the hair ends on the floor.

“Gute Nacht, Haare!”
