Snuggles! *pics*

Last night was sooo sweet.  Did the night time routine with Emily and got in bed to read books before turning off the light.  She started fussing, as usual, when I turned off the light (she did that when we bounced her, too.  She just doesn’t want to go to sleep) and then she did a silent pout for a while where she crosses her arms and sticks out her lip, lol.  Then she rolls on her side and wraps her arms around my neck and snuggles in and went to sleep!!  It was so nice that I snuggled for an hour with her before I put her in her crib. =) Why, oh why didn’t I do this sooner!?!
 
And she’s used to being put down in her crib and waking up there, so all of that is easy!  I was ticked off at Bryan yesterday because of course he chose to bounce her.  Ironically she took forever to go to sleep and he still didn’t have time to get ready for work!  Should have just tried it the new way, jackass.  I don’t know why he can’t get up and take a shower in the morning instead of imposing some schedule on her that she can’t always stick to.  Sometimes she sleeps in and other times she’s just not tired at 11:30am.  I wonder what the normal nap time for toddlers are? 11:30 seems a little early to me sometimes.  Some days she is pretty tired then, but most of the time I think we should switch it to feeding her lunch at noon and maybe giving her a nap closer to 1pm?  I don’t know.  Then she’ll wake up later and might not go to sleep at night well.   I’m rambling.  =)
 
I think we’re completely over the stomach bug now.  Emily is starting to eat more, no more throwing up.  Bryan and I seem to be able to eat normally now.  The whole trying to eat low glycemic hasn’t exactly been feasible as the only thing I could eat was crackers for a while, but I’m working on it.  
 
My mom and Bryan’s aunt haven’t gotten sick yet, so I’m starting to have a little hope they won’t.  They first got exposed four days ago, so you think it would have hit by now.  The doctor said it was very contagious so we were really cautious, but usually when you’re in the trenches like that it doesn’t seem to matter.  Keeping my fingers crossed!
 
I’m glad tomorrow is Friday.  I have zero plans for the weekend, but I’m still looking forward to it.  Emily hasn’t left the house since Sunday and obviously we didn’t go to the KinderMusic class, so she’s probably getting ansy to get out.  I’ve been trying to find new things to entertain her inside, but there’s only so much you can do.  I let her play with uncooked rice and a glass dish yesterday and we played with that for almost an hour!  I thought Bryan would be ticked that we were making a mess (because uncooked rice is just sooo hard to vacuum up) but he thought it was a good idea!  I decided not to mention it was really expensive organic jasmati rice that we were wasting…lol
 
I’m looking forward to her getting into drawing and painting.  I figure by the time summer rolls around it will be warm enough that we can put butcher paper or something down in the garage and go at it with a bunch of paint or something!  Maybe an easel too.  So much to look forward to! =)

All right, I’m way behind transcript since I was gone the first half of the week, so I should probably get to that!  
 
I’ll try and add some of the photos to the bottom of this entry, but it might not work since I’m doing it from my phone.
