Mother's Day Present

Yesterday was a very nice, very simple day. Landon made me waffles with fresh strawberries and bananas, which were carefully selected for me at the store (he had a little help from daddy with the waffles, but apparently the bright yellow bananas were all Landon). I didn't go to the library, but instead worked at my desk in the living room in my hot pink flannel pajamas and slippers all day. Landon was very cooperative and took two nice naps so I could get some writing done (four more pages!). I loved being in the same room as my boys and it was nice to glance up from a case and see them practicing their crawling and building crazy towers with as many different toys as possible. Landon went down at about 7:30 with minimal fuss and JP and I ended the night eating a two-layer marble cake he made from scratch (well, from a box, but that's from scratch in our house!) and watching Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. He went to bed and I stayed up until 12:30 writing and editing a little more. I fell asleep dreading the 3 AM screaming fit from Landon and was shocked to wake up to his babbling at 6:45. It was the perfect present- 6 whole hours of uninterrupted sleep!

  1. Sweet picture! He's looking like such a big boy! Your Mother's Day sounds perfectly wonderful (except for having to work on the paper, of course, but at least you could stay in your jammies). I think we will have waffles with fruit for dinner now.

  2. How precious! What a nice Mother's Day present! I bet he planned that sleep just for you. I'll pray that he keeps it up!

  3. well, he gave you a lot more than six hours of sleep, but due to your paper, you were only able to take advantage of six of them.
