Happy Birthday Grandma Sherry!
I had another long stretch of sleep, waking up at 3:45. Dad got up to give me a bottle, thinking this was going to be just like the last few nights; silly Dad. First, I just wasn’t that hungry for some reason. I only drank a couple ounces of milk. Then Dad thought he could get me to fall asleep, but I just wasn’t tired. I looked at him with big huge wide-open eyes and he melted. We stayed up together until he got me to dose off for a few minutes by turning the shower on. He left me on the couch, napping, while he hopped in shower (hoping like crazy that Mom wouldn’t wake up and find me, abandoned!). After he got out, he fed me the rest of the bottle, and with the sun coming out there was no going to bed for me. Finally Mom woke up and Dad took off for work.
I hung out in my bouncy seat with Mom for a while, before getting fussy (hey, I had been up for hours) and falling asleep to take a nap. I ate a legitimate breakfast at 8:15 and then I fussed around for a while before falling into a restless sleep for a couple hours. I had lunch at noon and then Mom and I went for a walk. Mom was on a mission to be productive. We stopped by the Ralph Lauren store, Pottery Barn Kids, and The Children’s Place (the latter to get me a sun hat!). We walked back across the park to get home and, of course, I ate as soon as we got in the door.
After my snack, I was in a good mood so Mom and I sang (You Are My Sunshine, Itsy-bitsy Spider, This Little Light of Mine, etc.) and then I did some tummy-time. I ate at 4:45 but wouldn’t fall asleep, so Mom had to carry me around for a couple hours to keep me calm. Dad got home around 6:30 and then I had dinner with Mom before she had dinner with Dad. I went to the laundry room with Dad and he and I hung out while Mom got to take care of herself a bit. I had supper at 8:50 and then turned in for bed around 9:30.
