Today is Thursday, Nathan has been gone since Sunday. I haven't been all alone, I must admit, I had my nanny work on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. That was a nice relief for me, especially on Wednesday since I had lots of doc appointments (no big deal).
It always feels strange here at night without Nathan around, it's somewhat liberating since I get to watch what I want to watch and when I want to watch it, but otherwise it's pretty lonely. If we didn't have an alarm system, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep as hard as I do without him here to be our guardian.
Kona too. ;)
Kaitlyn has been getting up in the morning, climbing out of bed and venturing into James' room to either wake him up or play with his toys. Today was no exception, except for the fact that Rosco went into Kaitlyn's room at 6:30 AM and was meowing at her. Looks like she got a taste of her own medicine. Apparently Rosco wanted to play with Kaitlyn and her toys. Of course after I panicked when I came out of a deep sleep and realized that the meowing was coming from Kaitlyn's monitor and thought about running upstairs before he woke her up, I heard, "Oh hi Rosco!" in my sweet little girls' voice. "DANG. Now she's really not going to go back to sleep" I thought, and figured out it was time to rise and shine.
I did haul upstairs when I heard Kaitlyn banging toys around in James' room though. Last night he went to bed with a fever, and I knew he wouldn't care to be woken up at 6:30 AM (about an hour early on our schedule). I hurried to get Kaitlyn out of there and told James to go back to sleep. He did, thankfully, since he still was feeling feverish.
One benefit to our early rising this morning was that I got to take James into the doctor's office for walk in hour at 8 AM. He was "diagnosed" with viral tonsillitis, but they are "cooking" a strep test just in case. We'll get that result tomorrow.
Daddy gets home tonight!!
Wooo hoooooooo!
Kaitlyn and James were playing with the light switches until I suggested a nice game of "peek-a-boo", then they were all over it!
Kaitlyn in her "big girl" crib without the high rail- now she has a guard on it, and guess what... she does this...
Jump for joy I'm out of the crib!!!
Kaitlyn is two now, but hasn't mastered the finger skills necessary to use sign language. ;)
My beautiful family!
James giving Daddy a "piggy-bank" ride. :)
NUTELLA FACE!! He wouldn't eat it the other day because he didn't think it looked good, then I reintroduced it as chocolate frosting and he'll never turn back now. That's my boy!
