I had a great Mother's Day here. Ryan and Kris served me a 'hotel quality' breakfast in bed with a fruit tray and all. It was wonderful. We went to church, shopping for a new chair for our bedroom (my 'pushing present') and then out to dinner. It was a nice and relaxing day overall.
Kris has gotten a ton done on his 'garage project'. He has insulation into the outside wall and hung his wall board over it. Today, he is ready to start painting. I suggested he let Ryan help, but I didn't win that discussion!
Ryan has been doing well. Like other 2 year olds, he becomes obsessed with certain books. We've been reading 'Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?' for the last few days and he has really been trying to make some of the sounds. We've been so proud of him for just trying, as was his speech therapist today. On Thursday, we are going to meet with the school district to review his evaluation for preschool and visit the preschool. I can't believe that my little boy will be in school in the fall! Ryan has been doing great with Emma. He wants to hold her and have me take his picture over and over, but it is short lived. He sat on her yesterday, but it was more of a trip and fall than done on purpose. He does forget to watch where he's going, so he trips over her a lot when she's on the floor. He loves to give her kisses though!
As for Emma, she is doing wonderful. Last night, she slept for 4 hours straight! Of course, then she proceeded to get up every hour and nurse for a few minutes before falling back into her sleep coma. She's not a big crier unless you ignore her for too long. She tends to whine more. This morning, she was waking up whining for a while and I swear she said 'guys' - like 'um, the whining's not working, can you hear me??'. Too funny. She's not a big fan of jambalaya, as I found out when a wonderful dad in my mom's group brought it over for us. That's the only night she has been awake more than sleeping. Emma has already rolled over, beating Ryan by a few days, but has yet to do it again. Of course, it's harder to leave her on the floor to do anything with the potential of big brother problems!
Yesterday, was our second day by ourselves, as Kris went back to work. Overall, it was a smooth day. We even managed to go to the playgroup at our gym - at 9:30 in the morning. I must say, getting two kids ready to go out is much more difficult than one! But we made it and it made the day go much quicker! Hopefully, we'll be ready for more by the end of the week. Kris is supposed to work Thursday and Friday and then is back to travelling next week!

I'm impressed that all three of you moms with new babies made it there on Monday! Sarah F. was telling me today.
