Brady let me sleep in this morning, which I apparently really really needed. I woke up all on my own at 10:15. It was awesome. I felt way better physically and it seemed to help my mental health as well. It was good. I went downstairs and watched Magic School Bus with the boys while we waited for Laela to wake up from her nap. I learned a lot about the desert from Ms. Frizzle. Smart lady. Once Laela woke up, we all got ready and headed to my parents. My brother, sister in law, and their two boys are out visiting, and it was time we got our kicks in over there.
The house was teeming with kids, and it was awesome. While Dekker is still shy, he never screamed or got too worked up at all with all the new people. He fit in pretty quick, and played along with everyone else. Laela was a bit shy of my brother, Simon, as she tends to be a bit more timid of new men in general, but she got comfortable nice and quickly.
We ate all day, and when Dekker and Laela went down for a nap, us kids and the other two boys went for a walk in an effort to quiet the house for a little bit. It was nice to get a bit of fresh air while the kids could get a deep sleep.
My parents ordered in pizza for supper, and we feasted on that. Even Laela loved chewing on a crust, or at least the novelty that came with it. We had some cake for dessert, and the little boys begged for just a little bit more over and over. It was delicious though.I can’t blame them.
We left my parents house in time to get the kids down at a relatively normal time. Maybe a half hour late. Laela burped up a bit of pizza and chocolate cake after her bottle but frankly, at least we got milk into her! We worked on the sippy cup today but she hasn’t figured it out yet. Tomorrow is another day.
Ooo! Tomorrow is another day!! A day with Jerilee!!! Sorry, probably a lot of you have no idea who Jerilee is, and you likely think we have a fairly dependant relationship. You’re right, and don’t judge. We haven’t spent any time together for what seems like forever, so tomorrow, we’ll need to cover a lot of information, and I’m sooo looking forward to it!
Just waiting for tomorrow…
