We all had a much better day Friday. Poor Murphy (and poor mama) didn't sleep well again - Thursday night to Friday. He seemed to only be able to sleep two hours before waking crying. Before the harness he would wake and make fussing noises, not cry, but now he just wakes crying. My poor baby. So in the end he and I got only two blocks of two hours...yuck. Zack then took Mabel when she woke and let me sleep since Murphy fell back to sleep when I was in the shower. I got another half hour there. I persevered and went along with my plan for the day. The playcenter. I've said it before and I will say it again, life is easier with little ones when you have no place you have to go. This wasn't bad, at least we didn't have a time constraint, although I was shooting for 10:00am. I'm the type of person that gets so anxious when I'm going to be late, I get stressed and sick over it! I wish I didn't. Frankly it isn't worth it, but I can't help it. Anyway, with a little bribe...oh, I mean reward of jelly beans Mabel dressed herself and played quietly as I got everything ready including Murphy. Mabel had jelly beans for the first time as dessert on Thursday. She LOVES them. Zack was able to fine vegetarian jelly beans (gelatin free).
Anywho...I successfully got to the playcenter with no drama. Mabel had a blast, she was just so happy to go! We met my step sister there, her little boy was so cute hugging Mabel when he saw her. It is impossible for the two of us to talk much at the playcenter since the kids seem to want to do different things (on top of me being a sleep deprived zombie with dry contacts) but we were able to talk a bit. Murphy was a champ hanging out in the Baby Bjorn, we even ate lunch there. Later she napped great, I even got a half hour!
So yes, good time. My kids are the best!
