I had a fabulous morning and early afternoon with a friend, making jam. I know, it seems like a somewhat weird season to make jam but it was awesome and easier than I remember! Of course, she was there to help, which likely made the difference. However, our efforts only produced five jars. I’m thinking we need to do this again soon…
Poor little Laela didn’t have the best day, unfortunately. While Willa held her and rocked her and talked to her and completely doted on her, she would cry as soon as she was laid down. Most of the time, she was WIDE awake.
I hear thats common of babies, but not mine really. It carried on after Willa left. She didn’t have a legitimate nap until she fell asleep around 3:40pm. She lasted over two hours, which was wonderful, but it took some time getting there! Now I just hope she stays up decently late still so we can all get a good nights sleep. Once the jam and dishes were done, and my company had left around 2:00pm, I hung out in bed with Laela and watched YouTube. I played some Minesweeper, and marvelled at my new lock screen on my phone. Isn’t he just the most beautiful boy you have ever seen??!
When Dekker woke up from his nap, Laela was having hers, so I fed Dekker supper and we set up the monitor so we could go downstairs afterwards. Dekker hadn’t gotten to go play downstairs during the morning “jam” session so he was thrilled to go down. Brady worked later and only arrived home shortly after 7:00pm. But a long day today and Monday makes it possible for him to not work tomorrow. Yay!!! (Side note: Tomorrow is going to be a quick day in Saskatoon. I haven’t had my legs waxed since September 12th. So…yup.) Laela woke up minutes before Brady arrived, so he got to come home to a toddler playing toys and a baby, yes, still crying. Not sure whats up with her today. Our whole house is just on the brink of being sick, so maybe her throat hurts too.
Deks is now in bed, and Laela is laying on the bed, just chilling, not crying for seemingly the first time all day. Now its time for supper for Brady and I! I’m thinking we’re going to take the easy road and have a freezer cheese pizza. That is exactly what my belly wants today! Yum.
