We've strung a couple of rainy days together here, so the thee of us found ourselves at Family Fun Center again. For the third day in a row. Again. It's nice to be able to let Orion roam. Sometimes we're even lucky enough to meet nice people with nice little kids.

Today, I struck up a conversation with a couple of moms, one of whom I'd shared the L&D room with the day Orion was born. Soon we were talking about weaning strategies and growth curves and all that other great mommy stuff. I felt so...normal.

Then as the crazy elementary age kids worked the door for some afterschool running, jumping, and generalized mayhem I got the equivelent of the mommy secret handshake. That's right. An invitation to their Mommy and Me group. I know I should be all cool and aloof about this, but instead I feel like I'm sitting at the cool kids table in the lunchroom. It scares me to death but I think Im going to go tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
