Minutes spent napping (in arms) before 6:00 PM: 35
Attempts to get her sleeping in the crib: 4
Mood: Grumpy
Screaming that ensued (with Daddy): 60 min
Crib sleep: 6:30-7:30 pm
Finally went down for the night: 9:45 pm
In cheerier news, the big bed situation has been remedied by taking down the bedframe, and setting the box spring & mattress combo on the floor. MUCH less scary drop now, if (when?) she goes overboard. And, no dust bunnies under the bed! It actually fits our room better, scale wise, since it is an attic room with low slanted ceilings. And its amazing how much more space we have in the room, to, getting rid of the head and footboard. Lonnie is thinking about making us a low platform style bedframe, and is plotting how to make it have fancy rolling side bars that come out from under the bottom and become a guard rail when needed. Ha!
Also tossed in a fit of room clearing: Big Dog Boat, the biggest dog bed in the world we called The Raft. Aiko now must settle for a regular, rectangular shaped bed that fits her size a bit better.
Did I tell you all we got a laptop? First laptop for home ever, an HP, and it is a pure joy. It is chic and shiny and black and thin but with a nice wide screen (and unfortunately tiny font, which I must remedy since it makes me feel near blind). It can run my Sims, if I were to desire (but alas, no time for them, sadly), and more importantly is connected to our wireless router so I can surf and post from the couch, or leisurely reclined in bed, as I am now! Ah, the luxury.
