12/22/10 – Girls Day

Well, another sleepless night for me! We’ve honestly tried everything…different noises, positioning her bassinet differently…everything. She just won’t sleep! She ends up in our bed most of the night, but I still don’t sleep well. Ugh! I need sleep like CRAZY!

Anyway, I was home today with the girls because my mother in law had to work, so we had a girls day in. It was a wonderful day too! We all just hung out, and both girls were very well behaved! I got the dishes washed, the kitchen cleaned up, the trash and recycling together. The girls went down for their naps at the same time, and naps for 4 HOURS! So I was able to work on some projects on the computer and get some me time in.

Christian ended up working for 12 hours today! Poor guy. He finally got home with just a little time to spend with the girls. We gave them their baths and put them to bed. We wanted to see what Olivia would do if we put Amelia in the bath with her…so Christian held Amelia in there and Olivia just thought it was hilarious. I think we’re going to get one of those chairs that sit in the tub so we can put them in there together on nights when Amelia doesn’t get soapy baths. I think they’ll like it, and it’ll save on water! After the play time, we tried out some of Olivia's Christmas presents (a little early). LOL. We got her this little "fountain" that just floats in the bath, and some water color tablets. She LOVES them.
