Fun day with a not so fun ending...

We had a great day today! Beau, being the wonderful husband and daddy that he is, got up with Asher this morning and let me sleep. I got up at 9:30, and it felt great! I love sleep! =) We played and lounged this morning. And Asher took a two hour nap, which is very good for him. His naps are usually about an hour and a half long - or a little shorter. I got to take a bath, wash my hair, shave my legs (AND lotion them), put on makeup, and fix my hair ALL in the same day!!! QUITE an accomplishment for THIS mommy! Then this afternoon, we took Asher to a park in town. He loved it. He swung...swang???...in the baby swing. A "good citizen" =) let us know very nicely that we had him in the swing backwards. We were very glad she told us. It didn't seem very safe. =) And...just for the record, Beau DID think the right way was right from the beginning. Anyway, he loved swinging, sliding, playing in the sand, climbing, and riding on bouncy horses and the merry-go-round. I've loved every stage with him, and I'm sad sometimes that he is growing up so fast. But we're having SO MUCH fun...more fun every day!!! Then we went to a movie. What were we thinking, you ask. Good question. It was definitely wishful thinking! It was past nap time, so we thought for sure Asher would go to sleep during the movie. He did. But only for just under half of the movie. After he woke up, we took turns trying to keep him quiet while trying to enjoy the movie at the same time. We're glad we saw the movie ("Dan in Real Life"), but we know that our movie going days with Asher are officially over!!! When we came home, I fixed pancakes for dinner. I saw pancakes in the movie, and it made me want them. It was a nice thought, but they were a little dry. I'm not sure what the problem was. At bedtime, Asher went down easily. So far, the only hitch in us trying to get him back on a good schedule was in the middle of the night last night. If you read this before, pray that this will be a good night! I don't think we'll have to revisit another three hour trial like last night! (I HOPE!) And the not-so-good ending to the day was doing the dishes and straightening the living room. I AM glad that those two things are done now, but it took me quite a while, and there's (as always) SO MUCH to do in the rest of the house!!! But I had to take a break, so I came to blog...something that is a little treat in my day. =) And now, I think I will retire. Good night!
