Small Successes


1. Last night we ate dinner at 4:45 because, well I have no great explanation, but it's just what we did. Tom has been out of town since Tuesday and I was running low on energy, so I whipped up some stir fry and we were finished with dinner a little after 5. That makes for a LONG night before bed. So I decided to give both boys a bath at the same time. I've done it a few times before, but it's a huge challenge. Obviously Finn is still in his baby tub, so it's not like I've got both boys in the same tub and can keep things under control. But it all worked out. Jack is old enough where I can walk out of the bathroom for like 2 minutes and know he's fine. Plus I constantly yell his name so he will yell something back so I know he's not drowning. haha. It all worked out and in the end I had two squeaky clean boys.

2. As I mentioned before, yesterday I was running low on energy. Tuesday night I MAYBE got 3 hours of broken sleep, MAYBE. I was dragging all day long. I got both boys to nap at the same time, Finn was in the basement so his whining wouldn't wake Jack up. I got to nap for an hour and a half (Finn fell asleep, he wasn't screaming the whole time, ha). I felt a tad better, but not much. So then I decided to not work last night and go straight to bed when Finn went to bed. I put Finn to bed about 8:30 and he was up fussing at 9:20 and 9:45, so I said screw it. I put him in the basement in his pack n play, set up the monitor and let him work it out. He fell right to sleep and I didn't hear from him until 3. I decided to try and not to feed him (now he's eating cereal about twice a day, he's getting plenty to eat). So I gave him his nuk, let him cry it out for about 10 min and he was sleeping. Jack woke up at 7:15 and I still hadn't heard from Finn. 8 AM we are done with breakfast, still no Finn. I started to panic, is he still alive? ha. So I went downstairs and a blanket was covering his face. Great, he's suffocated to death. But he was alive and breathing. Welcome to your new bedroom Finn, the basement!

3. I signed up for a golf league with Alissa and my mom. I can't wait to have an escape out of the house every week and work on my game again.

 Ok Finn is up from his nap, time to feed him and go to Target, my second home!

  1. Oh Molly I hope you can catch up on your sleep soon. That would be so hard to run on 3 hours of sleep!

    Let me know if you need anything!
