Day 1

Today was the first day I was on my own. Overall it went really well. Braydon slept through the night, which only happens when he chooses to do it, which is not often.  We had breakfast, played a little with his toys and he went down for his first nap and I went down for a nap as well. (You can't do that as a Working Mom!) We both were woken up by a dog fight right outside our window. Please dog owners, when you walk your dog and you see another dog being walked in your direction just step aside. Those of us trying to take a nap do not appreciate being woken up by you screaming "get your dog off my dog"! Just a thought.

After the morning nap I fixed us both some lunch, leftovers from dinner the night before and Braydon went down for his afternoon nap. (This is the life) While he was sleeping I read a book, called my husband, watched some T.V. and relaxed. After his afternoon nap he turned into a grouch!

Braydon does not get the concept of the playdough

 I tried playng with him- he was not amused. I made play dough, he ate it and looked at my pissed like I had just feed him poison. I tried to tell him it was to play with but apparently a 1 year old doesn't understand the concept of play dough. I took him for a walk not realizing it was 85 degrees outside and the neighborhood we live in is full of hills. It was a short walk.

We had a snack of fishy crackers and milk and got ready to go to the Farmer's Market. This was great! We picked up yummy blackberries for Braydon and got to spend time with Grandma, who of course bought him cute new shoes and new PJ's. Thanks Grandma! We finished up the day with lasagna and peaches for dinner, a bath and Braydon went right to sleep. Crossing my fingers that he sleeps through the night again.
