Traveling Seger

Seger traveled well. It’s amazing he really is so happy when he gets to have me alone. I am too. I am so easily distracted that I miss a lot and I guess he misses me a lot as well. So, here we are in Costa Rica for 14 days on our 5th day. He loves the ocean. I am so happy for him. He is body surfing in 4 inches of water. He is kicking and paddling and getting his head covered in ocean water and laughing during all of it. It’s wonderful and he is gaining confidence every minute. He is a cautious child by nature so it works out great that I get to trust him to take chances and he gets to learn to trust himself on his own time. It’s in my nature to push but I’m learning in my work, in my life and parenting him, it’s not natural or comfortable to be pushed. So, here I am setting it up for him to have if he wants it……AND HE DOES!

Expediting a passport

I hired a company to expedite Segers passport for us to go to Costa tomorrow. I called the company 3x to confirm i was sending the proper paperwork. This was over a week ago and they promised 3 days. The guy told me he was sorry that it wAsnt going to work based on the few hours before we were supposed to leave. I said ‘I am coming to Miami tomorrow at 730am and you and I will Give it a go’. He agreed. I had a Freind spend the night and told Seger I would not be there when he woke. I left at 330am and was the first in line. The guy apologized and admitted they could have taken care of this days ago. I refrained cussing him out because he defended his company the day before and said they just got the paperwork that day. MF Bullshitter! Now he’s giving his associate the blame. Whatever. It’s done and I got it. I’m now on south beach drinking a bloody mary waiting to pick up the passport at 210pm.

Pura Vida!

Seger’s Birth

I was in the salon today and heard a conversation about a birth. The stylist said ‘how was it?’. The what seemed to be Grandma said ‘Well, he was born at 9am, he weighs 7 lbs, and everything went great’. Those are the details that we (even me) have always asked about. I thought of Seger’s birth. I have not done this much. It is pretty intense to think about and a little hard not to get emotional about it now that i am. What was the birth like for her and him? Where were they? Did she have someone to help her? How she must have felt to experience that pain, see his beauty and have to leave him for me to raise. I’ve seen the houses where they live and there is no bathroom to clean up, The floor where they live is the same as the ground outside. There is no hose, there is no hospital, no doctor, but who knows, maybe his grandma was there. We will never know.  I hope she is safe and happy.
