People, the stars were correctly aligned last night and Mr. Grayson James slept really well. Only up twice to nurse. This is a sleep schedule I can get on board with! I'm not looking for him to "sleep through" the night; I am totally fine with nursing him once or twice throughout the night. I just don't want to get up every two hours, yo! He's been back and forth on this kind of self-made schedule, so I'm just hoping that he starts to stick to it a little more consistently.
Other than getting a decent night's sleep, today was a good one because:
1. I went shopping with my Mom and cousin, Nicole. Grayson was a good little shopper. I got a new bathing suit (and we all know that bathing suit shopping is a real joy for all women... especially post partum women). My debit card was pissed. Pissed.
2. Carter was excited to go the babysitter's today. I always feel guilty taking him there because I feel like I'm shuffling him off. But he has so much fun there with the other boys (she only has boys) that I know that my mom-guilt should take a hike. I forget that no matter how much time I spend playing with him at home, I'm just not as much fun as the imaginative, energetic kids his age. Every time we get there, the boys greet us at the door with "Carter ! Carter! Carter is here!" He reacts with the biggest smile and it's the best thing to see. Also, the boys at the daycare aren't telling him "just a second, Carter" because they have a baby to tend to or lunch to make. He actually has a meltdown when I pick him up from Judy's (the sitter) because he wants to stay and then tells me "go back" all the way home. It's healthy for him to socialize with his friends and I just need to remind myself of that when the mom-guilt tries to take over. The point of this paragraph is that he had a great time at the babysitter's today and that makes my heart happy for him. He's a really social little boy and it makes me weirdly proud.
3. It rained today! I LOVE rain. I love the smell of rain and that it cleans the city after the snow melt leaves all the sand and dirt from winter. I couldn't live somewhere where rain was a near every day occurrence - I rely too much on the sun for my good and energetic moods - but I love me a cool, rainy day. I'm looking forward to some rainy walks with Cater and his umbrella this spring.
