Friday, March 12, 2010
Fridays are usually our lazy days at home. The last couple of weeks though we've had things to do on Friday so we haven't had our usual lazy home day. Today however it was much needed and completely enjoyed. The girls and I had not had such a stellar evening yesterday. The kind where you are left feeling that you have just lost the right to refer to yourself as a kind parenting parent. And our crummy evening carried through the night too. Emma was up bunches during the night, and up for the day starting at 4:45am, which is way too early for this mama. She had taken her diaper off last night, wet her crib and therefor her special blanket was in the wash. We think that not having special blanket is part of the reason why she had such a crummy night sleep last night. David brought her into our bed this morning with the hope that she would snuggle with us and fall back to sleep. Unfortunately, that did not happen. And it was then that I knew it would take everything I had to keep her from falling asleep at 10:00am (I was only kinda successful. She had briefly fallen asleep on the couch but woke up when I arrived with the popcorn). So today, a very mellow day was in order, and I am happy to report we achieved our goal and easily got back to our usual way of doing things.
