Sleep and other bits

I went to bed early last night. As I was nodding off into that twilight between awake in asleep, I remember distinctly thinking “I can’t believe I’m going to bed this early on a Friday”.

So … you can imagine my frustration this morning when I woke up and it was STILL FRIDAY! But I got over it, and actually got to work on time. I was then also thinking that the department assistant would see that I was on time, but SHE’S OFF TODAY so no one was here to witness my feat. Today is not going good yet.

The plan was that today C was going to take apart the crib while he worked from home, and then Henry would be forced to sleep in the bunk beds tonight and we could transition him there this weekend. This morning I was holding him about trying to talk it up.

“Henry, you want to sleep in the big-boy bed tonight?” (I point to the bunk bed)
“No, sleep there” (points to his crib)
“but baby, don’t you want to be a big boy?”
He shakes his head.
“Sleep over there? We’ll put all your stuffed animals and your blankets and you can sleep below Bubba?”
“No, there” (points to crib)

So … I think it’s a no-go. He does love his crib. My coworker suggested converting it to a toddler bed for a little while to get him used to getting in and out of bed himself but I just don’t know. I probably should, but the whole point for ME of moving him to the bunk bed is getting rid of the crib all together. I hate that there’s no space in their room. I hate that they can’t really play in there, that there’s no room for their toys in there … although I guess a month of toddler bed might not hurt if it moves him over.

We went to one of my favorite healthy-eating establishments last night (it’s becoming a habit, Thursday kids eat free, hurrah!) and they misspelled one of the soups: “Potato and Leak” hehe I didn’t correct them. If we had been sitting inside I would have taken a picture but it’s so beautiful out that we snagged one of the last tables outside. One of my favorite things about it is that you get free frozen yogurt with every meal, and I had non-fat Pumpkin frozen yogurt last night. Yum!

But today is almost over, work wise, and I went out to lunch with a friend and sat outside soaking up the warm-but-not-hot, zero humidity afternoon and now it's all I can do to wait to get back out there. Gorgeous!

Happy weekend, y’all!
