oh yes that looks very familiar. Independance comes with a price :)Sometimes I spend just an extra minutes in the shower preparing myself for the kaos when I get out. It is actually a lot worse if I leave Nick and Wills home alone. I am sure to return to a happy and messy home. Oh btw I am still in shock that you put Sonja to bed at 6:30!!! I can't imagine that working in my life. Although the time with Nick would be nice. I am not a morning person so the the 5:30 morning thing wouldn't work for me. More power to you though! That's great.
I know that's early- it's way earlier than we ever put Anna down, but as soon as we're done with dinner, Sonja wants bed. She just melts down. It is usually 6:15-30am wakeup and that's when Chris gets up anyhow. But we all are usually up before 7, just some of us are less cheerful... Anna goes down sometime between 8-9 so there is a good hour or two of time for just us with her. And that's good for her. And then I thrive on the kid-free-time after she's asleep, explaining why I'm not cheerful at 7...
Enjoyed reading your blog again - and the comments from your friends. Started my week off with some humor and fond memories of your family. Thanks - you just keep giving. :)
I didn't even know she could open the fridge...
I had the same issue with Andrew: a puddle of BBQ sauce here, some salad dressing over there... hehe
ReplyDeleteAt least she was trying to refill her juice cup...shows some independence and thought processing!
