*switch writers to Katelyn, David had to go borrow a truck for yard work tomorrow*
After a little bit of cuddling we all got up and started on breakfast and getting dressed for the day. David set up the high chair and Emily ate her first meal in there. She ate really well so I guess she liked it. I was trying to hold off the high chair for as long as I could because it takes up a lot of room in our kitchen. Emily has gotten a little too rambunctious for the bumbo though, she pushes the tray off now. Anyways, she seems to like the thrown feel.
After breakfast, and a couple phone calls, it was time for the gym. We dropped the girls off and then David and I ran outside. Then I went in and took a shower while David did some weights. David picked up the girls and they were standing outside the locker room when I came out. We went home and fed the girls lunch. Emily was so tired so she hardly ate anything and just went to bed. David made a frozen pizza for him and Haley to share for lunch and I went out to lunch with a friend from church. David put Haley down for a nap and both girls were sleeping when I got home about an hour and a half later.
Emily woke up first after a two and a half hour nap and was super hungry. We put her in the high chair again and that must have been too fast too soon because she got real sad unless I was standing right next to it. I think she's starting to have a little bit of separation anxiety. She was a lot happier once she had some food in her belly. Haley woke up after sleeping almost three hours, she was also pretty cranky. David cuddled with her until she adjusted to being awake. Then we all decided to head to the park for a little bit before dinner. The high was 90 degrees today so it was a little bit on the warm side. Haley was flushed and Emily was getting sweaty by the time we headed back home.
Once we got home we fed Emily and started on dinner. David threw some spaghetti together for Haley and the baby-sitter. We were meeting with our small group this evening so Ella was baby-sitting. Haley came with me to pick her up and when we got home Emily was already sleeping in bed. David is pretty good, he had finished making dinner and put the baby to sleep in the fifteen minutes we were gone! Emily was so tired so that's why we opted for the early bedtime. I really hope she's not up at 6am tomorrow because she definitely went to sleep at 6pm.
We left Haley with Ella and were gone for about three hours. When we got home, Haley was still awake. Ella said she started screaming anytime she put her in her bed and she was afraid that she would wake Emily. She had been rocking her in her room for the past fifteen minutes or so. She also reported that Haley had peed her pants and thrown a fifteen minute fit. Apparently she wanted a pop tart so Ella got one for her. Then she said she wanted it hot so Ella put it in the toaster. Then she said she didn't want it hot, then she wanted it hot, so forth. I think she was probably just super tired. Haley gave me some problems going to sleep too. She got out of her bed and I told her that if she did that again than I would spank her so she just sat in her bed and wailed. Finally I went in there and she said she wanted some applesauce so I gave her some and she ate three helpings and then went to bed without a hitch. I guess we should tell baby-sitters that applesauce is the key.
Haleyism:
Haley apologized to Ms. Ella before she left. I think I may need to explain to her that she needs to obey Ella or there will be spankings!
Emilyism:
Emily eats in a high chair now!

Any way you can put Haley and Emmy to bed before you go places in the evenings? 90% of the time we do that with Kelsey and Jay and it makes things SOO much easier. Plus I like the fact that they don't even know a babysitter was here.
ReplyDeleteEmily is getting so old! High chair! Separation anxiety! I miss that baby!!!!!!
Ellie seems to wake up from naps a bit clingy - she cries if I put her down too quickly, too!
ReplyDeletePoor Ella. It's hard to keep a 2 year old happy! :)
Does the big wheel not have a seat?
