Last night was another good sleep night for Grayson. Not as good as the night before, but still pretty good. He was up a bunch of times throughout the night, but was right back to sleep once I put his soother back in his mouth. Carter being a thumb-sucker is crap right now, because I hate that he's three and still sucks his thumb, but the benefit to having a thumb-sucker when they are smaller is that you aren't up 300 times a night to put the baby's soother back in his mouth. I'll appreciate that Grayson is a soother baby when he's a toddler and it's time to give up the pacifier, but right now, it kind of sucks.
So Saturday. Saturday was good because:
1. My siblings (Joel, Sarah, Curt) came over for brunch today. I love these people. I am so proud of these people. Truly proud. They are smart, kind, really hard-working, but above all - they are really good people with good hearts. And they are the people who will be an Aunt and Uncles to my boys.
2. We hear from my parents every day. I love getting their messages and seeing how much fun they are having. Right now they are on a cruise and once they are on dry land for the remainder of their trip, we will do a Skype call. I'm interested to see how Carter reacts to seeing them on the computer and can't wait to actually "see" them and talk to them for a little longer.
3. Jeff and I watched Gone Girl tonight. Everyone I talked to really liked the movie, and (as I said in previous posts) I thoroughly enjoyed the book, so I was excited to see it. I thought it was only okay. It didn't compare to the book, but the movie rarely does. The movie felt like it was rushing to tell as much of the book/story as it could, but Jeff (who didn't read the book) didn't feel that way, so I think that's a reader's bias. But, we had both kids in bed and were actually able to watch a movie together on a Saturday night which almost made it feel like old times. That was the nicest part of watching the movie - feeling like we have a life. Shhhhh - don't tell our kids!
