Today I babysat a 2 yr. old for 4.5 hours. I thought this would be a good opportunity to see what it was like having a toddler and a baby to take care of! And it wasn't too bad! If Blake is as good as this little girl was I think we could handle it! LOL! One thing I realized was that my house would be a disaster and there would be no point in cleaning up until the kids went to bed, because as I put things away, she'd turn around and pull them out again!! We missed Strollerobics this a.m. so we are going to go on Wednesday. Actually, I am going to try and go every Wednesday now. Our last official New Mom's Network was on Wednesday, but we are going to continue meeting at each other's houses or go to the park or mall or Stars and Strollers or whatever else we find to do! Blake is doing great! We bought the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child last Tuesday and loosely started doing a sleep routine with Blake and it seems to be working. He's routinely sleeping 7 hours a night and Friday night he slept 8 hours. We're working on daytime naps now and he's currently having one! He is getting more and more interested in his surroundings. It's quite cute! His vision is better too and he can see further away now. When I pick him up out of his crib he looks around his room and loves to be nosey!! Ha, ha, ha! On Thursday we are going to my Grandma Kelley's house in North Battleford and then to Tisdale to visit Grandma Marg and Grandma Art on Friday and home on Sunday. This will be Blake's first time meeting his Great Grandparents on my side! We have my godfather's 50th birthday party to go to on Saturday night and hopefully we'll be able to take a drive down to the cabin on Friday or Saturday. I miss that place! I used to spend a lot of time there in the summer, but not so much anymore. It will be fun to take Blake there when he's a little bit older. But, he will be waking up soon so I should go! Take care!
