We spent the entire day in Ridgewood, NJ, yesterday, looking at houses. I mention it was an entire day because unlike other trips into NJ to house search we decided to do Tashi’s nap on the go. The plan was to have her nap at Dan and Kim’s, which had promise but ultimately didn’t work. Tashi snuggled in their bed with a big hippopotamus for a while, but then even with husband next to her she wouldn’t fall asleep. So, she went without a nap yesterday, but even though it probably wasn’t the best thing for her cold (new since Friday—everyone at daycare has it) I figured she could survive a day.
We’d put a bid on a house earlier in the week and went back to look at it. It’s a great house, but has shortcomings, and two of them you can’t fix: the size of the second-floor bathroom (smaller than what we have currently!), and the fact that it is accessible only via the master bedroom. So, we won’t be upping our bid, although they gave us a decent counter offer and despite the super-awesome location down the street from Dan and Kim’s. We’ll keep looking (although it might seriously kill me).
Here’s the briefest of videos from hanging out at their house.
When we left, Tashi said, “Bye guys”—who knows where she got that? Didi, for his part, spent most of the day in the car seat, poor guy.
