Brian and I stole away for a little date night last night. It was sweet! We splurged with dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, always one of our favorites. Brian had a new dish called Bang-Bang Thai Chicken and Shrimp. He said it was one of the best things he’s ever tasted! I had my usual – Shrimp and Bacon Club Sandwich. I’ve had that every time I’ve ever eaten there… it’s so tasty. Of course, we enjoyed some cheesecake. Brian had White Chocolate Caramel Latte and I had Tiramisu Cheesecake. Lovely. I’m looking forward to enjoying lunch of my leftover sandwich:)<\/p>\n
Analise has a cold that’s been dragging on, so she’s being a bit of a whiner today. I was going to post earlier this week about how we’re doing SO well with potty-training. We were! She’d been staying dry at school, and we even had one completely dry day, including waking up dry. Sunday was rough because we were at Sunday School and of course she was having too much fun to remember to tell someone she needed to go to the bathroom. Today, though, I’m not sure what the problem is. She’s had 2 accidents so far already. Maybe she’s not feeling well? I think we’re still doing pretty darn well, and I’m SO pleased to not be changing diapers! <\/p>\n
Josiah’s got some serious sleep issues going on. He fights sleeping during the day, and it’s so hard to get him to nap. Today has been a little better as he took a long solid nap in his swing after some fussing. At night, it’s really hard to get him to sleep, but then its hit-or-miss as to whether he’ll sleep for 4 hours or not. He’s a very restless sleeper. And the silly pacifier… it falls out while he’s sleeping and then he half-wakes and wants it. Arg. I’m still anti-pacifier…<\/p>\n
I’ve got a bit of a sore throat, and it was one of those days that I woke up wanting to call in sick. I couldn’t convince Brian to stay home and take care of the kids for me. He knows life is much easier at his office… just college kids to deal with.<\/p>\n
Enough from me… hopefully, I’ll be back later to post something I started writing this past weekend! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
