My in-laws are gone. It was a good visit overall. WAY too much food and dessert, both Nick and I are back to our heavy vegetable meals with seafood and very little sugar. My dad gets into town this Saturday, then Nick's dad the following Wednesday.As with all parental visits, I was a bit worried of how my MIL would be about my parenting style. She made many comments that I just let slide, I kept reminding myself that she raised her kids in a different era. The one thing that really did bother me though, is that I don't dress my child warm enough. Nick and I went out to see the Matrix Friday night and when we came home Munch was in two onesies, long pants, different socks and wrapped in a blanket. When we left she was in a onesie, shorts and socks. Nick said it's probably because MIL was cold all the time (after 30-some years living in South Florida, the Pacific Northwest is a bit chilly for her - understandable). Oh well, we'll deal. I believe that each grandparent will have something they don't agree with. All part of the package I suppose. Yesterday Munch & I went to the Fremont Fair. That was fun. I got myself a shirt and a really cute dress for her. It wasn't my usual fair-going-type of day though, like everyone says, it all changes when you have a baby. I didn't get to see a local singer perform, but that's OK, there will be other times. I'm glad we got out, I needed that. Then we came home and had dinner. We watched Amelie, I watched Sex in the City and we all went to bed. A pretty good day overall. last - next
