I woke up this morning at 3:00 and didn’t fall back to sleep until 7:00. And we had to wake up at 7:15. It was a rough night. And morning. And day. But I lived. Dekker was nice and tired all day. He slept through the entire church service and had a three hour nap in the afternoon. He was happy and playful during the times he was awake, which made the day as easy as I could really have asked for, considering the night.
I realize my posts have been pretty lame with all the crappy sleeps I’ve been having, so just a few quick updates for you:
Dekker is still beautiful and happy as ever. He is more cuddly these days than ever before. He walks and runs, dances and jumps, growls and sings. He has a mullet and diaper rash. He has started chewing the corners of his blanket when he’s falling asleep. I wonder if its due to teething, but I’m still banking on those two year molars not coming for a while, and thats all he has left. His favorite color is red, his favorite foods are oranges and bananas and bread, and his favorite song is the theme song for “The Nanny.” I know, poor child. Dekker excels at listening and obeying. He has began tickling feet and pretending to pour water into his plastic cups and taking big pretend drinks. He is the best.
Brady and I are good. Well, Brady is decently sick, honestly. But you’ve heard about that a lot recently. He has a couple of days off this week that we plan to spend getting our family better. Another exciting note for us is that we have a few exciting things to look forward to in the next couple of months! Our anniversary is coming up soon, and we have always spent a weekend away at least in the month of our anniversary if we can’t get the weekend. So that is officially booked! A quiet weekend at a beautiful hotel by our favorite lake. Dekker-free, might I add! It will be nice to hole up for a weekend, just the two of us. And use the hot tubs on the roof of the hotel too. Its been a while since we hot tubbed. Lastly, does anyone remember my post about going to see Marianas Trench? It was truly an awesome show! They were on a tour they called “Face the Music,” completely run and planned by them. Not their label, but the band. It was super theatrical and by far the best show I’ve ever been too. We travelled to Regina for it. Well apparently the tour was a wild success and they’re going back across Canada to perform in a few places they couldn’t fit into their first tour. SASKATOON!!! They are closing their tour off in Saskatoon 😀 I’m so thrilled they’re coming in general, but to be the place of their final show of the Face the Music tour somehow feels like an honor. Either way, I pre-ordered tickets, and we are SOOO looking forward to, once again, an amazing show and a fun night away! (*I’ll just throw a quick disclaimer in here. No, we don’t dislike our son or want to be away from him, but a break here and there is super refreshing! One in February and then two months later doesn’t make me feel like Dekker is being neglected…) Its nice to have things to look forward to.
I’m not going to add a picture of the last chunk of this post just yet. I’m back in the crocheting saddle. Just for a project or two, we’ll see how it plays out. I started back up a day or two ago and had some pretty rocking success. I’m tentatively excited about what I came out with, so hopefully it can continue and my confidence will build back up. If thats whats supposed to happen. Who knows anymore.
Well, I’ve pretty much been awake since 3 this morning. So ready for this day to be over.
