Today was a good day. Thank God for such a good day! We slept in a little (til 8am), had scones and headed out to the farmer’s market. We got the chance to try out our new stroller (which the boys LOVE) and buy some organic veggies. We then headed back home, talked to Granny and Brumpa on Skype and were able to get some things done while having fun with the boys. We were all in a good mood. The boys were so much fun and so sweet all day. We had our typical ups and downs, but it all worked out because we rolled with it. The best part was that the boys were so pooped out that they both went to bed by 7:30pm. This NEVER happens!! We are lucky if they are both asleep by 10pm. So we put in a movie and caught up on all of our missed episodes of Modern Family and Private Practice, drank wine and sat on our computers. How romantic, huh? I think we are unable to grasp the concept of even starting something frivolous for fear that they will wake up. Hopefully, we’ll get over that someday. At any rate, it was good to do a little house cleaning on my computer and just sit back and chill for the first time in ages. I hope we don’t regret it at 3am when the boys are wide awake because they went to bed so early.
Regardless, today was a good day.
We also hit some major milestones:
- Julian ate cereal for the first time and loved it! He’s been grabbing at my plate and watching me eat, so I just attempted it and thought he may not like it. He had 3 little bowls of rice cereal before he started spitting it out. Yay!
- Julian slept in his own bed tonight. I have put him in his own bed many times for naps and started him out there at night a few times, but this is the first time he is actually sleeping by himself in his own room and his own crib! We’ll see when he wakes up and how long that lasts…(doesn’t hurt to dream)
- Tate is telling us that his diaper is wet/dirty and is asking to be changed. He also pottied on the big boy toilet without us even asking him to do so.
- Tate didn’t even attempt to take a nap today.
All of these milestones just go to prove that time goes by so quickly — esp. with kids. Just when you think the days are getting monotonous and ho-hum, they up and change things on us.
I miss my Grandma.
