So I thought this morning would be sad for me (ya know since she's going to MIL's house now), but actually I really think I'm going to like this arrangement. You see, all summer I've left while she's still sleeping in the morning. Now, we have to wake her up to go, and she's all happy smiley and loveable in the morning. I'm waking up a little earlier now so I can feed her that first morning bottle, and I just loved being able to have a few minutes with her in the morning now.
It's funny, I can close my eyes and see her little smile this morning and feel her touching my cheek while I was giving her the bottle. Oh wow do I love being a mom.
The other bonus about her going to MIL's house is that she'll have a routine during the day to go along with the routine I've established at night. All summer with Jer it was just a day-to-day go with the flow type of thing, and I think the routine will do her good. She loves her nightly routine and is now learning how to put herself to sleep once she's down in her crib. It's great. It's funny though because when we put her down, we can hear her "talking" to herself and just babbling on and on. It's so cute.
My mom is picking her up for a "sleepover" tonight. My mom misses her and didn't get to spend too much time with her these last couple of weeks, so she's keeping her overnight. This really means that she wants to take her and spoil her rotten, but you know every kid needs "that grandma." :) I'm going to miss her tonight, but it will be a nice break for Jerry and I.
