Hey all! I'm writing you again this week from beautiful London. Fall has definitely arrived (or are the temps always in the 50s here?), and I've been bundling Rowan up whenever we go on outings. Brenda's parents are in town, which has been wonderful, and they've been encouraging me to take Rowan out and about. We went to the public library last week and took part in story time. Most of the kids were a little older, but we met a couple of nice moms with kids around Rowan's age (I was the only dad there and Jim was the only grandpa). Today we visited Brenda at work (much to the delight of her castmates), and tomorrow we're going to a play group for 0-2 year olds. Rowan handles the outings very well. As long as he's fed and gets his naps, he's up for pretty much anything.
It was really nice meeting Brenda's castmates today. She's working with a friendly bunch of people, which I'm sure makes the difficult task of rehearsing Berg's Lulu more pleasant. (A smiling baby helps them forget about all the characters that get killed off during the show.) Since she began rehearsals last week, Brenda has been working all day and, with the exception of dinner, all evening so she can prepare for the next day. On top of that, she provides all of Rowan's food (except for the occasional pureed carrot that he likes to wipe all over everything he can reach), and she hasn't gotten an uninterrupted night's sleep in close to seven months. The point is that Brenda is amazing and so are all of you other working moms.
It is definitely bed time over here. I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next Tuesday!
