When I was growing up, we almost always had dinner together as a family. That is a tradition I want to have with our kids. That's a glitch with my working schedule. I eat with the kids on the weeknights I am at home, but Paul usually doesn't eat until the kids are in bed. An idea I had was to change the fall babysitting schedule from 2 days a week from 3-6pm to 3 days a week from 3-5pm. It's still 6 hours a week of babysitting, but this way I'm hoping Paul will eat dinner with the kids on the 3 nights I'm at school, and I'm hoping the 4 of us will eat dinner together at least some of the other 4 nights of the week. When Paul graduates, I hope to become a SAHM, and then hopefully all 4 of us can eat dinner together most nights. Ian isn't eating solid foods yet, but I imagine he will be by September. Tonight is my last night of teaching on campus until August 30 so hopefully we can have dinner together at least a few times over the next 2 months.
Nadia wore underwear to bed for the first time last night; she stayed dry for 11 hours and peed on the potty as soon as she got up this morning! Good job, Nadia! Ian slept almost 9.5 hours, and after I fed him he slept another 80 minutes! He slept almost 11 hours total!! It was heavenly not to get up until 6:25am (I was up with him from 4:30-5:05). Way to go, Ian!!
