Last week we made the 3.5 hour drive over to Chelan, WA
to spend a sunny weekend with friends.
Both girls did really well and took long
naps on the drive both ways (Ryan even joined the snooze on the way home!)
Sleeping all in one room with a teething baby was not the greatest thing in the
world, but luckily good friends, good food, and good wine outweighed it all. It reinforced why we don’t normally co-sleep, especially as Lily has a tendency
to yell out in her sleep and slowly drift horizontally. Nothing like a good foot to the face at 3am. I did enjoy waking up
to her tiny hand on my shoulder and her little smile like she got away with
something by sleeping between us all night.
This was our first trip with these
friends since we have all had babies. One couple does not yet have kids… I
think the weekend was good birth control for them. At one point they went out alone and I was fairly certain they weren't coming back (they did, thank goodness.) Five kids ages three and
under can be a little crazy at times, but the house was spacious and the pool
was warm.
Cam and Lily were basically just on a date the whole weekend. He is a
tiny gentleman. I put Lily’s hair up before we went in the pool and when we
arrived Cam greeted her with “your hair looks nice!” to which Lily replied “thank
you!” Oh to be three and in love. We can’t wait until next year.
