Ian has a new game, where I stick my arms out and he climbs up me and then slides down. He loves it and I have to admit it’s cute and fun but I feel like I should caution him never to try this on anyone who isn’t expecting it… particularly since I once tried to jump on my babysitter, Jane, when she came to pick me up to go see the Nutcracker, and I thought for years that I had broken her back. I was probably his age at the time.

“Mommy, that’s me, climbed ALL the way up.”

I realize we have been a bit slap-dash about these this week. Next week I’m sure we’ll do better. Or else, we will do worse and you’ll look back on these and they’ll look good in comparison. Either way, really. Oh, and if you have a short attention span or you missed them yesterday, here are this week’s stats. Also, that’s about as close as I’ll be getting to New Year’s Resolutions, so have fun with that.

I want to take a moment to shout about my workout buddy Jenn, who is doing SO AMAZINGLY WELL! She is about to outstrip me on every metric which is only remarkable because she has been sick for basically the entire holiday season. Instead of using that as an excuse to curl up with as much cake as she could eat, she has been super careful about what she eats and she looks AMAZING in her New Year’s Eve photos!
