I didn't mention it last week, but hubby was out of town all last week on business. He was supposed to be home on Thursday, but due to airline computer malfunctions, he was stuck in Atlanta overnight and finally made it home Friday, nearly 24 hours after he should have arrived. But the bottom line is, I had solo baby duty all last week. AND WE SURVIVED. Daddy received nightly phone calls, which mainly consisted of daddy on speakerphone while Rickybear took off running with the phone. We also got one Skype session in.
This weekend was spent relaxing as a family (and watching football). I am glad it was hubby that was out of town and not me, because I would have been crying every day about being away from them for so long. The one thing that has carried over from last week is the introduction of an earlier bed time. While daddy was away, I had the baby in bed by nearly 8pm every night, as opposed to 9:30p. I can't believe he went down without a fuss! Over the weekend, he still went down early. Last night, same deal. Since daddy won't be working super late anymore, the baby has time to wind down before bed (since no matter how much I protest, the two of them go wild and crazy playing together when he gets home). So I get some grown up time in the evening now and I even get to go to bed at a decent hour!
Now if I could just figure out a way to get the baby to bed without a toothbrush in his hand...
