Last week Cathy made it through her first week on her own with Clara. Entering week four after surgery, Cathy is able to lift Clara to the high chair for meals and to the crib for nap time. Although she shouldn't and it causes her pain, Cathy will carry Clara around from time to time. Fear not, Cathy has been properly scolded by her overprotective husband. Even though she knows I don't have any expectations for work to be done around the house, she likes to do it anyway and sometimes it's easier to do the work when she's carrying Clara. Cathy, I know you're reading! Nothing is so important that it can't wait until I get home to take care of Clara (danger situations notwithstanding). I love you!
All kidding aside, it is wonderful to see Clara reach for Cathy and for Cathy to be able to pick her up. It's a sweet reward after all the hardship hearkening back to the overnight weaning and Clara's cries for Cathy. Trials and blessings.
