K getting restless before we left for our walk
Hooray! K went to her grandparents for the night! I feel kind of guilty getting so excited that she’s gone but I need some time to bond with Belles and I REALLY need some sleep. We had a pretty normal morning. K was getting restless inside and is starting to get really bossy lately. She lost it when Jason wouldn’t pick up her pacifier for her when it was 6 inches away from her hand and then she intentionally dumped out her box of 64 crayons and demanded I pick them up for her. I didn’t. We ended up doing a walk and she was able to get some exercise and shortly after, her grandparents picked her up for the night.
It’s a much less stressful experience to not constantly be worrying about kidnappers and SIDS
Jason and I took the opportunity to go out for beer. We were hoping Belles would cooperate and sleep most of the time; of course she didn’t. We were in the midst of passing her back and forth and taking turns patting her while chatting with the people at the table next to us: a mom and her daughter who were both nurses. The daughter kept saying how much she loved babies and offered to walk and pat Belles for us. We jumped on the offer! She was right next to us the whole time and Belles fell asleep while this woman was holding her. And then she held Belles for probably an hour while Jason and I chatted and relaxed and enjoyed our beers. Now we keep joking that we should go around asking people to hold her for us next time we’re out. “Do you like babies? Want to hold ours?!” It’s funny how much more relaxed you are with your second kid. It’s a much less stressful experience to not constantly be worrying about kidnappers and SIDS and all the crazy things that rarely happen anyways.
