He fell asleep without me!

I’m copying this over from the baby’s blog, so if you read both, skip this part . . .

Yesterday I went out for several hours. I tried to get the little guy to take a nap before I left, but he flat out refused. My mother had come over to watch him so I could go to a hair appointment and he didn’t want to miss a minute of play time with her . . . I had my hair apt., picked up “A” after a dentist apt (1/2 day of school for Flag Day) and then hit the grocery store for a few things before coming home. About 4 hours total.

I haven’t often left him for that long . . . but with my mom and Papa’ home I figured he was in good hands. When I got home he was actually asleep! He has never, ever fallen asleep when I’ve been gone before like that . . . its a first! And it means I don’t have to worry quite so much about whether he’ll take his naps without me here to nurse him down for them!

My leash just got a little bit longer!!!!!

Knitting content:

I wound up choosing some of the Knit Picks sock yarn . . . I don’t remember which one it is but its a pretty pink and purple combo, very girly. I was going to do one of the patterns from the Vintage socks - a ribbed sock from the beginning of the book . . . unfortunately the gauge isn’t right. I cast on the 60 stitches it calls for while I was waiting for my hair apt. to start and after a couple of rounds of ribbing I stopped to actually look at what I was doing and realized there was no way it would actually fit me! Oh well.

I then frogged and recast on with 80 stitches and I’m going to do my own version of a ribbed leg. I only wound up getting a couple rounds of the ribbing done while I was out but it was nice to have a project in my hands again. If I can I’m going to work on it just a little later today.

General babbling:

The hair apt worked out well . . . got some nice summer highlights . . . now I look more like I spend the days at the beach ;) DH likes the new look, esp the way the hairdresser dried my hair out all nice and straight. Trouble with that is the odds of me getting enough time to actually do the same thing myself are pretty darn slim (not to mention, I suck at that sort of thing!) so it may be the last time he sees it like that until the next apt! Ah, well . . .

The party plans are coming along. MIL decided to finish baking the eggplant to get it ready for the Parm (will be frozen for a while first, which is how she always does it) and I’m working on some of the detailed cleaning stuff . . . like I think tonight the oven is getting sprayed to soak overnight. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? And next time DH has a day off I’m going to need him to take the AC out of the windows so I can clean the windows . . . he threw them in when we had a warm day with out any warning or chance to clean first!!!!!! Men just don’t think of those things do they?

Well, the little guy will be up from his nap soon so I’d better run

added a few minutes later:

While I was sitting here waiting for this post to go through on blogger I started hearing a banging noise . . . which I assumed was coming from upstairs . . MIL working on something. I got up and when near the door to the stairs and found it wasn’t coming from that direction. I went to our back door and looked out to see if Arrow was doing something. He was sleeping peacefully in the hallway, no banging. Then I started into the baby’s room to go through to our room and check on him, thinking he’s still sleeping in the bed and that this banging is going to wake him . . . .

here is what I found:

Not only did he not tell me he was a way (he ususally calls me as soon as he wakes up) but he got off the bed (like we taught him) without killing himself and made it all the way into his own room and the toys!

I have a feeling this is one of those firsts that is going to come back and bite me! Know what I mean?
