Attention needed

Stephen got to experience for himself a little bit of what my day is liked on Saturday went I went to yoga class. Natalie just wanted to be held while she slept. Friday was pretty much like that all day. I didn't get much else done. Sunday, however, Natalie slept a lot "on her own". It was really nice. Not sure why Sunday was that way and the last two days had not been.

Sunday, we had a girl come over after church to play with Lexi for a few hours. Lily is 3 and very quiet - and Lexi pretty much runs the show. It was a relief for Mom and Dad though as this meant we didn't need to entertain Lexi ourselves. She does do a very good job of amusing herself most of the time.

Last night we put Lexi to bed at the right time per the clock. I would have thought that would have meant that she would sleep until 6 like she normally does but unfortunately she was awake before 5 - and ready to start her day. I tried to get her to play quietly in her room but that didn't work - some yelling was involved by her mostly. She was ready for breakfast so I took her downstairs and made her some toast (with peanut butter and the crusty off - like always) and left her there while I went back to bed. I think she didn't like that because shortly afterwards she was hollering for me and saying that she had thrown up. She hadn't really but had probably stuffed too much toast in her mouth and that made her gag. Then she proceeded to tell us she was sick and shouldn't go to school today. After a bit, I finally seemed to convince her that she wasn't really sick (just a little sick - "tell Ms. Tee") and she was ready for school 30 minutes before she could be there.

Natalie went 5.5 hours without eating last night but that meant I didn't sleep well wondering when she would wake up and then went she went to sleep again after eating, she was so noisy - breathing, grunting, etc. that I didn't sleep well then. I am tired with a slight headache and a sore throat. Probably won't get much done today either.

Flexibility is key, but not so easy to achieve sometimes.
