Last year, on the Sunday of Memorial Day, Dave and I got married in Oswego, NY. For our first anniversary, we decided to return to Oswego and spend the day- we revisited the wedding site (where another couple was preparing to tie the knot, so we walked over to the water and tried not to stare at the men in their cumberbunds smoking behind the building), walked over to Breitbeck Park where our BBQ was held, and had dinner at the same restaurant as our rehearsal dinner. Of course, we did all of this with Owen in tow, which meant that rather than joining in the frisbee game in Breitbeck Park, I sat on a bench and nursed. A very elderly couple approached, cooing, wanting to see the baby, and we had to explain that my nipple was in Owen's mouth, and perhaps now wasn't the best time to visit.
Although the traditional gift for the first anniversary is Paper, Dave and I gave each other the gift of sleep. I didn't wake him up in the night and tended to Owen all by myself, and then in the morning Dave took happy, playful Owen from the bedroom and let me sleep in solitude for three more hours. Aah... how exciting! What a great anniversary!!!
