Everyone Home

So we’re all home tonight, and so far so good. Charlotte spent a bunch of time today playing with her Mickey Mouse Surprise Clubhouse that Eleanor was nice enough to “bring” with her and give to Charlotte as a gift! Charlotte was very cute when she opened the present and immediately went over and said “Thank You Eleanor” before playing with it.

Later Charlotte got to sit on the couch and hold her baby sister on her lap for the first time. Charlotte is having a little trouble understanding that mommy is fragile right now and can’t roughhouse, but she seems to get that Eleanor needs to be treated gently.

Yesterday at the hospital, we were happily surprised to find that our regular pediatrician, Dr. Sinfuego, was doing his monthly two-day hospital rotation on the two days we were there! Heidi got this great picture today. As he left he told Heidi to give Charlotte a kiss for him. He’s a great doc.

So now Heidi will be resting for a couple weeks recovering from her surgery, while Eleanor’s job will be to eat, poop, and sleep. Charlotte and I will be in charge of the household for now, so we’ll be lucky if we still have power and water after the next few weeks. Anyway, we’re looking forward to a quiet weekend, and seeing what Eleanor will do next!
