just another day at the office

Ruby and I went to visit Ryan at the office yesterday. 

We've been twice before when she was much younger - before she was walking and not nearly as charming as she is now, (although she's always been quite charming).  It was amazing to watch the faces of every person who walked by her.  Of course she was a magnet to all the women, but grown men (and some corporate big wigs) were making googly eyes at her trying to make her smile.  Even people that didn't know us stopped to say hello.   I would say that seeing Ruby yesterday lifted the spirits of about 50 people.  Imagine what could happen if they let babies wander around offices on a daily basis?  Mental health would improve, stress would be way down, productivity might be too but that's ok because management would be more understanding and happier in general, and the cleaning staff could rightfully ask for a raise due to the increased work load.  Everybody wins.  Bring your kids to work! 

Here's what Miss Ruby and I have been up to today so far:

Tugging on me after breakfast.

Playing on her chair. 

Crawling under the activity centre. 

She's never crawled under that thing before and I tried to get her to do it again without any luck.

She's napping now and I'm going to do the same.  My chores can wait.  We're on a three night stretch for no wake-ups.  Well, Ruby sleeps through but I don't.  I'm still waking up a few times every night and struggle to get back to sleep.  I really hate it.   Oh well....
