Ballet class is tonight. Our group has gotten a lot smaller for some reason which kind of bums me out, but it is what it is. Then, we are on to the weekend!
Last night was a bit crazy with family and friends stopping by. It is nice to see people, but then it changes up the evening routine with getting Mina fed, bathed and into bed. Still, I think it is important to shake things up a bit here and there. I miss seeing friends later at night, but given the sleeping issues we had with our muffin early on and that she really, consistently seems to want to go to bed around 7/8 PM and wake up around 5/6 AM, messing with that ends up being very disruptive for settling her later. She is almost 9 months old, but we are still trying to stick with having her home for bed around this time (for the most part) and then having a couple of hours to ourselves before going to bed ourselves.
Mina is still fighting the same cold that she's had for a couple of weeks now. The poor girl seems to take after her mum, where if the cold goes to her chest it takes a while to clear. :/ She's had no fevers and is having no issues breathing - she's just snotty/coughing. She kept wimpering in her sleep last night, but slept through most of the night despite it. Poor muffin! She is always so much better once she's up and around.
(have you noticed yet that Brian and I have 100 different nicknames for our daughter?)
After we pick up our CSA share on Saturday we are going to troop at the Star Wars Read and Bleed event in RI http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/2012/09/27/you-don%E2%80%99t-have-to-be-a-jedi-to-be-a-hero/ . We'll stick close to home on Sunday - things have just been too crazy. How do parents of young kids manage to care for their yards? We have turned into that house with the overgrown weeds, I am afraid. If the weather holds out I'm hoping we can clear some things up and do some prep for the winter on Sunday. Different sources keep suggesting it will be a doozy. We definitely got off easy last year (Halloween storm notwithstanding).
