It got better.

Today seemed like it was going to be a continuation of yesterday.  The dishwasher is broken and can’t be fixed until Tuesday, leaving me with a  full dishwasher to unload and hand wash.  After a short night woken up twice by Wes and once by Kyla’s bad dream, we were struggling to get to MOPS without being too late.  Kyla and Wesley were in the car and Piper was standing right outside when she suddenly threw up. 

Now here all all the good things that happened because of that.

1) Foremost, Piper threw up on the garage floor, NOT in the car.

2) We unexpectedly had a relaxed morning at home with no plans to go out today.

3) I had time to wash all the dishes.

4) Wesley finally got to have a nice long morning nap on a Thursday.

5) The girls and I made banana bread and they were delightful.

6) I had time to wash all the dishes again. (See #5)

7) Wesley has been a pure joy since waking up from his uninterrupted nap.

I made a blanket house for the girls this morning while I did Round One of the dishes.  But Wesley was the one who found his bliss in blankets.

He’s 10 months old today, and if we could move beyond this new 1am feeding, he’d be practically perfect!

Blackmail photo! Hee hee!

And, something must be going around - Joshua was up all night throwing up too. We've had a nice lazy day at home too.

We missed you at MOPS today! I am glad that the vomit was outside rather than inside the car. I am also glad that you survived today. Good luck on tomorrow. ;)
