so this morning we went to bed at 3:30 a.m. and woke up at 10:30 a.m., which felt to us like 9:30 a.m. because we're an hour off, and it's not like the time changed a ton, but i still can't figure out what time it is. or what day it is, for that matter.
we did manage to make it to one of my best girlfriend's baby shower/picnic/goodbye party. albeit 3 hours late. but we made it! and i also made it to another one of my best girlfriend's director promotion party. it meant the world to me to make it to both of these events.
then i came home to screaming disoriented 14-month-old who didn't understand that really he was in his own room in his own crib and the familiar pac-n-play he longed for was really not home but Grammy and Grandpa's house. i sure hope he realizes that soon, because i do not want to repeat the two hour ordeal it took to get him to sleep. i finally resorted to hunching over the side of his crib with my hand on his back for 15 minutes while he dozed off into dream-land. my back was killing me and my arm had lost circulation by the time he was out, but it was worth it. it was a sweet thing to watch.
i love that he really just still wants mommy. i'm gonna hang onto that for as long as it lasts. even if sometimes he is being manipulative.
it helps me a lot to remember that i'm gonna miss all this, as mckmama so eloquently put it in this post .
oops i got side-tracked. i started looking back to posts from a year ago and now i'm reminded how much i do already miss this. wow time flies. that was one year ago almost exactly. ...which means that it's time to do a "dear danilo" post very soon.
i think i'll go grab some left over pasta salad and settle in to under the covers with my new netbook (have i mentioned i'm excited about this thing? ok i'll stop) to crop some pictures for it. :) see ya'll soon...
it's so good to be back.
