A Perfect Family Day

Today turned out to be a great day!

It started with the fact that Daniel slept in until 7:30...which was really 8:30 because of the time change. We did keep him up an extra hour last night in hopes that it would work, but I fully expected it to backfire on me. Too bad I decided to stay up late though, because of course my own body woke me up at 6:30. At least I got to snuggle under the covers for awhile!

I was even able to get Daniel down for an early nap today without a fight! Mimi and Pa were coming over this afternoon, so I wanted him to have a decent nap, but also wanted to wake him up early to play. He knew that they were coming, so when I woke him up he got really excited! Usually it takes him awhile to wake up and get used to the fact that they're here. Not today! He walked right out and started talking to Pa and even went over to Mimi and gave her a big hug!

Daniel enjoyed playing with blocks and then he, Pa and Jacob went outside to play. Brenda and I stayed in a talked. It's nice being able to actually talk without a little person to keep an eye on!

Once they came in, the playing continued until it was time for them to head home. Might I just add that it's rather depressing that the sun was going down at 4:45. I had my pajamas on within the next hour. No shame.

Daniel ate all of his supper, and was happily rewarded with his new love...the "Bix" bar. Also known as a Twix bar. He'll be really bummed that it was the last one in his treat bucket.

That kid was SO amped up tonight...but in a good way! We had fun playing and being silly as a family. I love moments like that!

He also had 2 successful potties today, so yay for that!

Getting him down for bed took just a little bit longer tonight. Partly because the little guy just wouldn't stop talking, but partly because I was having so much fun with him tonight, that I just wanted to snuggle and hang out!

Hopefully the rest of the week goes just like today!
