The Daily Hailey

I don’t know how many of you read from Facebook or don’t, but as I posted on my status earlier today, we put Dekker to bed last night at 7pm. A full hour earlier than usual. And worst of all, it was by accident!!! So that felt awful, but Brady and I were exhausted and dozing off by 9:30! So we kept ourselves awake until after 10pm and then gave in to sleep. We woke up after 8:00 the next morning and Dekker was still out. So we had a delicious breakfast of croissants and chocolate milk in bed! I’m hoping for round two tomorrow. At least of the chocolate milk. I’ve been drinking that stuff like its going out of style!

Almost our entire day was spent relaxing. We watched a movie and tidied up the basement just in time for Dekker to tear it apart again. But I actually really like it when he makes a mess at this point, since its sooo rare! Its nice to see him let loose once in a while. As for things I accomplished, the list is short. Dishes, washing bottles, stuffing diapers. I also got started on putting together a few things for Dekkers overnight stuff for when we are in the hospital having baby girl and he is hanging out with my parents for a night or two. Basically just a few snacks and shirts in a bag, but it counts. Lastly, I crocheted a pair of boots for baby girl to wear home. Not sure if she’ll actually wear them or not but they’re cute anyway.

I know, who planned the white boots on the white table?? Not me, thats for sure…

Besides that, our day was completely comfy and a little bit lazy. We spent the last hour of our day with Dekker in the bathtub. He still hates getting in but he’s adjusting a bit more to being in there for a period of time, which helps. He has new bath toys from his birthday and had a BLAST with his new “shaving kit,” shaving daddys face, Dekkers face, and mommys legs. (*Sidenote: He’s rarely witnessed Brady shave and I wax my legs, so where he picks these things up, I do not know!) When he was done in the tub, legs free of all pen marks, he got all dried, lotioned, brushed, and then came to play on the bed for a few minutes before he had to go to his own bed. Its sad. He’s reached the age of really wanting to stay up and play longer instead of LOVING bedtime like he did for, well, just about two solid years! But I know he’ll get used to it more. Eventually we all just learn to accept things, even if they’re not our favorite things. Reality bites, little buddy.

We have come to the realization that, yet again, we haven’t had supper. So the ground beef is browning up and I’m thinking either spaghetti or stroganoff will be sooo delicious right before bed! Now to decide which one.

I’m thinking its only logical to count supper as our bedtime snack, right?
