Heart attack

I've always loved even the idea of placing Calan in his laundry basket freshly packed with his warm clothes from the dryer & carrying him upstairs from the basement while his little hands hold him steady.  Not only does this get him off of my hip for a few minutes but it allows him to experience life from a different view.  We perform this scenario almost weekly.


After visiting the pediatrician & finding out that he weighs over 18 pounds (plus the basket, plus the clothes that are in the basket) I find this task taking its toll.  I have been sick *cough* but the second flight seemed extra long this time around.


Pretty soon he will be toddling  behind me but I will miss these days when he is still light enough to be "permanently" attached to my body.
