Finally, a Night Out!
Posted by Ida , Friday, April 23, 2010
Tough morning, but the day ended well! William was exhibiting more frustration trying to gain independence. It is tough being 2! He wants to help, but often times he expresses it after the task has been started and this throws him into the deep end. Reasoning is impossible, so the only action is distraction. Food is the best and easiest. He's been given chocolate chips and fruit snacks mainly. What kind of bad habit is being started here!? Dowatchagottado. He is also sick. Probably whatever Daddy has.
Madelyn started with a half hour nap. Mommy had a feeling it wasn't going to be a third day in a row of long naps. She did end up sleeping longer in the afternoon though.
William did some painting today. He made an original WC for Mimi, Kathleen and Papa. They will be very valuable one day. Keep it safe!
Since Mimi was on spring break she came to get William (awesome for Mommy) for a couple hours. She also picked up Kathleen and they went to see the big reveal of Ed and Kathleen's house. It sounds really nice and everyone is pretty impressed. After, they went to the store and then to Mimi's for lunch. When William came home, Madelyn had just woken up so she was in a great mood. After William showed Kathleen the birds in the back yard, Mommy put William in for a nap and Kathleen and Mimi visited with Madelyn (and without tears). Mommy is kicking herself for not taking any pictures of Kathleen and William and Madelyn. You've got to be kidding!
Daddy came home early and hung out a bit with William and Mommy before Madelyn woke up. Mimi and Papa came over for take out. Subs from John and Mary's...yum. Madelyn woke up crabby, obviously not well rested enough at 5, but Mommy tried to keep her up so she would go to bed for the night at 6:30. She wasn't happy with that idea so Mommy tried to get her back to sleep around 6. Then she suddenly woke up! Crazy baby. Mommy and Daddy were getting ready to go to the 5th game of the Sabres/Bruins playoff series. Of course, Madelyn and William were not cooperating. Daddy was putting William to sleep and he was protesting. Mommy was trying to decode Madelyn's range of emotions. Finally Mommy and Daddy got out of the house a little after 7.
The game was awesome! An awesome win for the Sabres! Mommy and Daddy had a great time. It was the first time they had been out together without children in over 5 months! Can you imagine?
Mimi and Papa did a great job with William and Madelyn. They worked it out just perfectly. Madelyn woke up 15 minutes after they left!
