Off to a great start!

Well, I couldn't ask for much more. On the first morning of the new year I was able to stay in bed until 10:45!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't remember the last time that happened! Over our vacation Delaney was NOT sleeping well, therefore, I was NOT sleeping well. We were up every 2-3 hours every night, yuck! Now that we are home things are looking better each night. She is at least back to sleeping six hours in a row. We are aiming for more! We have been giving her cereal since early Dec. and tonight was her first taste of sweet potatoes. She really liked them and opened right up for more! I sure hope that means she will be a better eater than our Frances! (who I must admit is much much better than before) Another great start is that Frances has also been going to bed wonderfully since the new year! She received a sleeping bag that came with a flashlight for Christmas. We have let her take the flashlight to bed for the last three nights and she has not come to her door once! No "I have to go potty" or "I need a drink" or one of her favorites "I need a kleenex"! The flashlight is perfect for little ones to take to bed because it doesn't stay on by itself, you actually have to hold the button in the on position for it to work so sleepy fingers would struggle to distract themselves with toys or books for long. Thanks Cousins Maria and Jon! And thanks to Mitch who let me sleep in and get the year off to a good start!
