I have to give Wavy BIG round of applause for her current sleep routine. No, not her schedule. We don’t have one of those at all, and its nowhere in sight. Lucky for us, she’s super low key, and we’re not suffering too terribly hard without one. But her routine is amazing! Specifically last night, it went off without a hitch. She had her awake time in the evening after the other kids had gone to bed. She dozed in and out throughout the later evening and went down solidly at 11pm, waking at 4am, and then not until 10am!!! SO awesome!!
I felt pretty good upon waking. Sleep tends to have that effect. After the gong show of a day we had yesterday, I needed a pick me up. And regardless of the attitudes in the house or in myself, I had a pick me up scheduled for today at noon! Wax and nails, baby!!!
I opted out of any nagging or bugging this morning, which was refreshing. I got some dishes done just before Wavy finally woke up. A certain someone was especially happy to see her.
He always is. He is Waverly’s biggest fan!!
Like I said, they all ate breakfast forEVER, and I had time to tidy up the kitchen and then feed Wavy. Once she was done doddling through her bottling, I very slowly moseyed over to the kids rooms and picked their clothes out for the day. As they noticed, they wandered over to me and got themselves dressed. Everything was suuuper slow motion, but it was suddenly time to go!! I loved the flow of the morning!!!
We got to the right area of the city a few minutes early and met Brady at McDonalds. There wasn’t quite enough time for me to grab lunch before my appointment so Brady drove me the last two minutes to my appointment and then took the kids for lunch.
For the next two hours ish, Brady hung with the kids and I got my legs and arms waxed, as well as got my nails redone. Ooooo! Aaaah! 😍
Cute, right?? I had this idea to use a chunky glitter color and then some other unrelated color, unlike my purple glitter and light purple nails. Pink and red was in my mind when I got there, and then the pinky pinky was an afterthought that I’m happy about 🙂 A little bit “valentines day” ish, but its not February, so I’m pretty ok with it.
Meanwhile in the van…
The kids lunched and fought a little and listened to music, haha! Good times.
Brady had snagged me some lunch when I finished up my appointment, so I ate a Jr Chicken from McDonalds and drank and iced coffee as I drove the kids home. Brady headed back to work. Wavy slept virtually all morning, so when we got home and she lulled awake, she was pissed and starving for milk. So I got on it, with some help from her little (big) shadow.
She looks a little concerned, hey?
We are nap-free and it showwwws! Dekker has loured Solly under the dining table, where he is now apparently feeling trapped and distraught. Laela is reading to Rowan, who is making jokes about what she’s reading, which she does NOT appreciate. Wavy is grunting to high heaven and farting up a storm in her rocker, which makes the other kids scream/laugh, which startles her and makes her cry. Sooooo its going great! 👍 Wish us luck for the rest of the day!
