Not long after the clock struck midnight, and our 7th anniversary began, Dassow Mommy was awakened by Baby Shot Legs. I think the Tylenol had worn off, but once she nursed and rocked she felt better. Once Dassow Mommy had her asleep and was setting her in her crib, Diarrhea Girl came screeching down the hall whining to be let out. Baby Shot Legs woke right up and cried. So, we all headed down and let Diarrhea Girl out into the snow. Once Diarrhea Girl was done, Baby Shot Legs talked about clocks and then started to wind down herself. Dassow Mommy had her almost asleep when Barf Boy came running up the stairs. He had left a couple barf piles in the hall. Yummy. Fun cleanup. Baby Shot Legs bolted up again. Oh great. And that, two hours later, was when Dassow Mommy broke down. I came into bed crying. No more! So tired! No more!
Dassow Daddy to the rescue! He took Baby Shot Legs and got her back to sleep so Dassow Mommy got to sleep until almost 5, when Diarrhea Girl started whining again. Diarrhea Girl made such a ruckus that she woke up Baby Shot Legs. Great. Here we go again.
Since I start teaching at 8:30 on Thursdays, there wasn't much chance to go back to sleep. Happy Anniversary to me! Dassow Daddy, thankfully, has lots of snow driving experience because this is what we woke up to:
There were probably about 5 or 6 inches of snow on our car. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make our lessons trip to Portland today, so Evelynd and I went to the Kids Club to check out the roads. They were good and the snow started melting pretty quickly. So, went to Portland and came back for dinner at Bentley's with Dassow Daddy. When we got home, Diarrhea Girl had struck again. On our bed.
So, to end this post on a happier note, here's another picture of Evelynd from yesterday:
Happy Anniversary, Peter! There have been joys and challenges. Highs and lows. Lots of learning and growing. Now we're parents, too. Let's make this 7th year the best yet.
