We finally got my phone switched over...Thanks to ERIN! She called the people and got everything taken care of for me. And Thanks to Aunt Nancy for the phone (it's her old one). I get lucky with hand-me-downs!! Also, Saturday was M's first day in her "big-girl bed". We finally bought a rail for the bed so she won't fall out, and on Saturday she got to sleep in it. She was really excited and did excellent! she went right to sleep. Unforturnately nap-time on Sunday did not go so well. Probably mostly because naptime doesn't go that well in general. She wouldn't stay in bed, and kept yelling to get up. After about an hour, probably, I went in and gave her a book to keep her in bed, thinking she was tired enough to fall asleep with it. I should have known better - my baby loves books. So, after 30 minutes of quiet, I went to check on her and she was still awake and reading her book. I told her we would finish is and she had to go to sleep - she said ok. when I left she cried. I waited a little bit and gave up; I put her in her crib for her nap...it was getting to late to keep fighting it. Sunday night went much better, but I think that is due to the dark. she cried and said "no big-girl bed, want crib." But we left her in bed, turned off the light and shut the door. Less than 5 minutes of crying and she was quiet, and shortly fell asleep. We'll see how nap time goes today. Boy, oh boy, this is fun!
This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
