Prince Lives Here, We Got 10,000 Lakes
April 20, 2009 | Clark, Jenny Recommends
Clark’s good friend Dahli made him this sock monkey blanket and sent him this cute onesie. Both were featured in the last post, but an outfit this cute deserved further highlighting, don’t you think?
In other earth-shattering, possibly never to be repeated news, about a half an hour ago, around the time of Clark’s morning snooze, I set him in his sidecar thing while I was making the bed. He was laying there happily babbling, so I decided to see what would happen if I just walked away. So I grabbed the baby monitor and shut the door. He continued to babble for a few minutes, then he started to low level fuss. I decided to give him two minutes and see what happened. It was like, WAH! WAH!…Wah! Wah!…Wah….wah, wah, snoooore…
GET RIGHT OUT OF TOWN.
I can’t believe it! Usually, I swaddle him, put in a bink, rock him, sing, and stand on my head playing the banjo with my feet to get him to go to sleep. Who knows if this startling phenomenon will ever be repeated but holy shit, dude! I can’t believe that just happened.

The title of this post comes from Atmosphere’s shout out to Minneapolis “Always Comin Back Home To You”. If you’re a midwest loving person, (and I know there are a bunch of you) you should download it right away. The first half is beautiful, haunting, hiphop, the second half is clever silliness, all praising places you can ‘drink tap water and breathe the air’.

HOOOOray! May the low-stress naptimes continue. Liam just fell asleep in the Target shopping cart (after refusing his morning nap), but we unbelievably managed the cart-to-car-seat-to-crib transfer and he is still sleeping now, 45 minutes later.

Aw Shucks.
Those little socks are perfect with the onesey & the blanket.
Nice work on the nap today…that’s pretty exciting!
Miss you..thinking about traveling to see you soon.

Score yet one more pic for the Cuteness-of-Clark Files! I am always amazed how sunlit he always seems in your lovely portraits
Is that a skylight, or does the GoldenChild radiate his own beams? Happy Napping!

beth c: Impressive! Jedi-like, even! So far so good, BTW. He has taken one “big boy nap” each day since!
dahli: Yes! I have a date in mind! Let’s talk.
chickadee: **high five**
emilie: Oh thanks! Actually, there’s just really good light in our living room in the mornings.
