Feb. 9: Yesterday (Sunday) was Sylvia’s due date. She was a few days late, but I so clearly remember how I felt this time last year…wanting to get that little baby born!
Since Bryan’s parents were both home yesterday, they suggested that I take off for a few hours in the afternoon. I didn’t take much convincing! So I went out and did a little shopping… I found a pair of cute heels for $11, and I got a pedicure and am now sporting purple toe nails! Sylvia is very intrigued by them and keeps checking them out:)
I came home for a quick clothes change and a hello to the kids, and then Mark and I went out to hear a Beethoven symphony. LuAnn got the kids supper and put them both to bed, and Mark and I went out to dinner together. So thanks to my incredibly awesome parents, I got about eight hours off from any parenting duties! Amazing!
In other news, Sylvia learned how to nod yesterday. Now when we ask her a question, she often nods “yes” in response. Previously, she only could shake her head “no,” but “no” meant either “yes” or “no”!
