Big Girl Bed

It's 5:30 am. My eyes open. It is dark. I can't believe it. I am alone.

This is incredible. In the middle of the night, Mead decided to sleep the rest of the night in her big girl bed. I vaguely remember waking at night and she was there, but she must have crawled away and laid comfortably down just like a big kid. It's great! I hope it continues.

To give some background, we co-sleep. Mead began by sharing our bed with us. Slowly, we have been 'weaning' her from this as she becomes comfortable. She has her own bed

This is dad's weekend, and my dad (Mitch) was here for all of Saturday and some of Friday. The motto was "no appointments, no disappointments!" coined by him, and the only things we scheduled were meals, when we wanted to. The funniest thing happened when we went to B's Rustic tavern for a meal, got all ready, and strolled there. We were about 20 minutes into the meal when I decided it was a good time to start Mead 'coloring.' This would have been great except for the fact that I forgot to stick the diaper bag in the stroller! Oops.

We did go to the "Thomas" restaurant. This is definitely Mead's favorite because there is a train that continuously circles the dining room. In a few minutes we are leaving on a great adventure, but without Mitch since he left at 5:00 a.m. to catch his flight
