In other news, we have officially learned that we can't take her places on weekday nights. Now that we've established a 7/7:30 bedtime, she needs to be at home and winding down by 6:30 at the latest. My "Amma Mamas" had a reunion dinner last night at 5:30 out in Chaska. The first few minutes were fabulous - all the other babies have grown up so much in the last month! - but then Rose started getting tired. By 6pm she was having a full-scale meltdown. Mike tried to calm her down so I could catch up with everyone, but Rose was having none of that. Sigh. Well, now we know for sure that daytime is best for socializing.
I also found out this week that I was NOT selected to be on the Board of Rose's school. Initially I was very disappointed. But then I realized that I was mostly disappointed because they didn't pick me, not disappointed that I wouldn't be on the Board. Hmmm. I reflected on that a bit, then decided that this might be the perfect opportunity for me to take some time for myself, rather than giving so much to others. So I think I'm going to sign up for a meditation class in September! That's something I've been wanting to do for awhile, so maybe this is the right time to do so.
Finally, Mike and I have a date tonight! We're going out to celebrate our 9th anniversary - my, how time flies! Thanks to Grammy and Grandpa Jack for offering to spend some time with Rose tonight so Mike and I can have a "fancy" dinner together.
See you tomorrow for Rose's 16-week portraits!
