Dear Friends and Family,
Before I go into yesterday, I need to get my chest cleared of this morning because Mr. mouse and I got off to a flying start:
Pioneer and I had a great day yesterday. Instead of trying to get her down at her first yawn, I decided to give her ~2 hours of alert/awake time with each session. She did a lot better and went down a lot easier for her naps. I was able to come downstairs during her morning nap and do stuff around the house. And, while I slept with her for her second nap, I really slept, not just lay next to her and play pacifier retriever. And, while her third nap was a little shorter than ideal, it wasn't bad either.
We spent most of yesterday just talking. It's what I was in the mood for and I figured she would indulge me. We skipped the walk because it was raining and my ankle is still bothering me.
And, last night, we cooked a couple of bento boxes and popped some popcorn and headed out to the drive-ins to watch Harry Potter 6. It was a long drive out and I was on edge on how she'd do. She was fussy until she had her bottle and then she needed a little cajoling before going down. But, shortly into the movie, Mr. mouse put her down on the back seat and she slept through the entire movie. She had a couple of moments on the drive back, but overall she was a rock star about letting us get out and watch a movie. I have to say, the drive-in was both fun and practical.
She had a midnight snack when she came home and went down for the night. She woke on schedule this morning so I'm optimistic about today. Now, if I could only do something about Mr. sleep deprived, life would be good.
I take that back, life IS good.
Cheers!

Before I go into yesterday, I need to get my chest cleared of this morning because Mr. mouse and I got off to a flying start:
- Just because he stayed up too late last night surfing randomness online is no reason to be obnoxious this morning.
- You don't get to abdicate all decisions to the other party, it's just a cheap way of dodging responsibility - the buck has to stop somewhere.
- If you need to say it say it to me, not to Pioneer, this isn't about her - be a grown up about it, please.
