my happy today is that while it wasn't a particularly exciting day, we got a lot done. Washed folded and mostly put away 5 loads of laundry (my arch nemesis), rolled around on the floor a bunch with E and baby Z, got the girls back and forth to dance classes and best of all, got a great start on decorating for Christmas.
quote of the day: I was unpacking the pieces to our large Christmas village and passing them to the girls to put on the table. Mostly stores and shops but a few houses too. The girls exclaimed over all the details and people and when we got to the houses "This one is our house! How beautiful! And look, this one is for Papa and Grammy! and Grandpa can live here! and look at the red brick house! This must be for the aunties!" So happy they want to have the aunties live with us in our little village!
my sad today is that baby Z is not sleeping at night. He's so big and so happy and easy going. He's such a flirt and has a beaming smile that can melt the world. He'e active and wiggly, rolling around and SO close to crawling. And he's SO LOUD! He squeals and coos and jabbers all day long, with ample volume and plenty of expressions. Truly, he has been so fun and so sweet and such a good baby. But he doesn't sleep! He has slept through the night a handful of times which tells me he can, but most nights he wakes 2-3 times with a heart broken, anxious cry. And if baby ain't sleepin, mama ain't sleepin. After a sleepless night, he's much more cheerful in the morning than I am.
