Mornings and changes

Now that I'm not working mornings have become much less stressful. I still need to be presentable, but I'm not gone the whole day so it's different. Daddy still helps to get the kids dressed, but I make breakfast for both girls and we start our day together. Now we walk to the car instead of me rushing them because punctuality was like an impossible dream with 2 small children. Basically, I'm much more relaxed. There is always a bright side and one example is that I'm able to contentedly sigh in the morning, grateful for my family instead of silently cursing the clock while trying to get everyone where they need to go.

Every morning Sam asks what I'm going to do now that I don't have an office to go to. I explain that I'm trying to find a new office and that it might take awhile. I tell her all the other things that I'm doing like cleaning up the yard (an entire season of Fonzie's left overs can be overwhelming), cooking (yikes, but no one has been harmed yet) and cleaning out closets, etc. She seems to be very curious about how things are changing and I'm trying to be the best example I can be on coping with change, staying calm and as sane as I can be!

Doesn't she look sweet? Sam is unbelievably bright and I am so proud of her!

On another note, Sofia slept in her crib all night! She woke up 3 times, but we didn't cave and bring her into our room. Daddy and I have discussed with Sam that Sofie may be crying a lot at night and if she wants to sleep elsewhere, she can. (She has elected to stay in her room.) I'm expecting an intense battle tonight, but if nothing else last night went well!

Aren't sleeping babies precious?

Here is to a restful night for all of us!
