Life with two resident parents and an energetic, lovable girl can be crazy at times. This morning was a great example of that...I was on call in the NICU and had to round this morning. Brian was on call today and was hoping that I would get home in time so that he could go to the hospital as soon as I got back home so that we could do a switcharoo and avoid having to take little Mia to a babysitter for a couple of hours in the morning. I was happily rounding and Brian was happily at home with Mia and then he paged me saying that he was getting called in because the rest of his team was waiting for him to round so he was rushing to get Mia ready to drop her off at the babysitter. I was bummed out and then as I was getting off the phone with Brian and I got back to my rounding...then, a little while later, Brian calls me to tell me that he started day dreaming on his way in and was almost to the hospital and FORGOT to drop Mia off! He would have to drive another 20 minutes back to the babysitter and then 30 minutes back to the hospital! And everyone was waiting for him. Then, our lucky break...a nurse practitioner I work with was so nice and because the attending was going to be in after my hours were up, she had me check out to her and I was able to go to Brian's hospital where I found Brian and Mia sitting in the car in the parking lot watching Blue's Clues together on Brian's computer (who would have ever thought that Brian would have Blue's Clues on his computer!) So at the end of the stress and craziness, it was so sweet to see those two enjoying themselves and to see what a great dad Brian is even though our lives are crazy and busy and exhausting. He really deserves a great Father's Day tomorrow!

Mia loves her pony that Heather gave her!
Mia discovers dip...her new favorite. In fact, the last couple of times, she's skipped the thing to be dipped and just scoops the dip with her fingers. Her favorite dips? Ranch and guacamole!
