Sunday Activities

For the first time ever, we had Kumi stay with a babysitter while she was AWAKE. OK, so technically that's not true since she's stayed with family and a couple of friends. But all the previous people have known Kumi since she was born. V has only been in the picture for about two months. And the thing is, she was totally fine. In fact, this is what they looked like when I called out "It's OK, honey, I'll be right back".

It was a very "Yeah, whatever Mom," moment.

Oh, and here's my little artiste's work:
