Joe has got Clara's back. In the morning, Clara will often hang out in her crib listening to the mobile under Joe's watchful supervision while we gather the flotilla of supplies* we all need for the day. He is the mixmaster and can be found reaching around the slats of the crib to press the buttons and change up the tune (really, as you may have guessed, he just never met a button that didn't need some pressing). All manner of animals will be brought in a sort of zoo share program if you will. In the evening, if time permits, we will play upstairs. Here, too, Joe will be busy making sure Clara has some things with which to occupy herself. Here is a selection of shots in which you can see Joe's offerings to Clara. He really is terribly sweet about it all.
(As you can also see, Clara has started to work on sitting up with support. But nothing beats being on the belly.)
*Flotilla of supplies: Ted's work bag; Julie's bag; the pumping bag; the bottle bag; diapers, wipes, diaper cream, swim suit, swim shoes as necessary; show 'n' share item as necesary; and whatever toy Joe has deemed necessary to make the journey to school with on any given day (today's special guests were two elephants).
