No pictures to see here…move along
Sorry, I didn’t even get my camera out today. It was a rather hot and sweaty afternoon. A small group of us had lunch together in a very warm room. I realized my daughter LOVES any Guatemalan woman who smiles at her. She had been whining at me for 3 hours but the second the nannies at the luncheon started playing with her, she was giggling great belly laughs! She loved them – I started feeling a little neurotic about that. But she was happy and I had 2 free hands to eat so I muddled through.
My mom arrives on Thursday – so a little piece of home will certainly make me feel better. Monday marked 7 weeks in PGN for us. Someone from our agency who re-entered PGN 3 days after us got out tonight so I’m hoping to receive that same call this week sometime.
I’m not having much success at pushing Sabrina’s bedtime to a more reasonable hour. When we picked her up, she was going to bed at 11pm. I managed to adjust it to 10 but she’s not budging any earlier than that. I hate bedtime. I start trying to rock her to sleep every night at 9 – we have a whole little routine. I can’t put her in her crib before she is completely asleep or a total meltdown occurs. So every night I spend an hour trying to get her to go down earlier than 10 because frankly by 10pm I am so wiped out I can’t get anything done after she goes to bed. Any tips out there on getting a little one to bed earlier? I hear all of these moms talk about their little ones going down around 8 pm and I am so jealous.
