I am a part of two small Mommy’s groups, which are great fun! It is nice to be able to learn from each other, enjoy the adult company, and sometimes vent…. I have met up with one Mommy (and one Mommy-to-Be) at a park in Berkeley that has a paved path by a body of water. It is also (unfortunately) sandwiched right between the freeway and a train track. The positive about that, it the freeway sound is a nice white noise (like the ocean, I prefer to think). The babies really seem to like and often fall asleep to the”ocean” sound.
After our walk today, we went out to lunch at a nearby popular Indian Restaurant….. It was Caden’s 1st lunch out! He did fairly well- staring at the lights and his surroundings, until he got overstimulated and tired. I nursed him for a few minutes and he conked out in the noisy restaurant for the remainder of the lunch! It is nice to know we can survive meals out!!
