Well, it's official. Spring has to be on the way!
Yesterday I was watching Ruby at her house and my dad called me. He said the frogs at the pond by the barn were croaking and thought I'd want to know. YIPEE! I also found a tick crawling on my wrist the other day. I was hoping the bad winter would help with those things. Guess not!
Ruby and I didn't have our best day. I think she must've had a tummy ache because she was very, very unhappy for most of the morning. She cried more yesterday than she had all the other days I'd watched her combined. I finally gave up on trying to get to her sleep in the basinette and just held her. She spent a little time in the swing and a little time on the floor under the rainbow thing that holds toys, but other than that I held her. I hope she slept good last night!
Her mom and dad, my brother and sis-in-law, are adapting now to the loss of sleep I think. Yesterday I told sis-in-law that she didn't look like she was going to drop over now like a few weeks ago. She said she's more tired now that before and that looks could be deceiving. Oh the joys of parenthood!
I'm looking forward to a little spring cleaning, green grass and flowers blooming. Til all that happens I think I'll just listen to the frogs talking!
Hey girl, I hadn't kept up with your blog in a while. Ben saw a photo of you in my bedroom and wanted to know who you were. He was 3 when you taught him to spin a rope and he'll be six in 2 months! I've been thinking of you and decided to see what was on your blog. I enjoyed catching up on everything!! I love all of the names you've come up with for the little ones...Snort:-) Did you see the recent remake of "Emma?" It was a 3-parter on Sunday afternoons last month. I liked it. Did you see that Colin Firth was up for an academy award? He's a staple in the Jane Austen movies...ahhh! No frogs croakin up here. We've had lots of snow lately and we're down in the single digits. Brrr! Sounds like being an aunt for you is always fun and ever-changing! I'll do better at keeping up with all that's going on with you. I miss all of the movie/dinner nights we girls used to have. *sigh*
