Gym time

In case you were wondering, we did go to the gym today.  It was wonderful.  I got to talk to other adults, burn some calories, and have a hot shower without having to rush to make sure the Babe wasn't getting into something (or the t.v. program I put on to keep her captive in one spot wasn't about to end).  Afterwards, we meandered through the building towards one exit, because my child does not like to leave.  She is content to sit on a sofa pretending to read a magazine, watch others go in and out, and of course wave or start talking to total strangers.  So after a few minutes, one of our friends came by to say that the kids she'd just played with were now in the gymnasium playing.  That worked for us.  We spent some additional time, and the Babe got to run around some more.  And I got more adult conversation.  Double win.
