SAM was a trooper this morning.
After partying it up the night before with her girlfriends and not coming home until 2:00 am (I came home after dinner at 11:00), SAM managed to drag herself out of bed at 6:00 AM to feed Margaret.
I admit, it would have made sense for me to drag myself out of bed, but she was gracious enough to let me sleep in this morning - my only weekend day off.
Of course, with her taking the early morning shift, I took the late morning one, waking up in time to get Margaret up from her nap at 10:00. After changing her diaper, reading a book, playing for awhile and eating her brunch of solids, SAM joined us in time for lunch.
THEN, we just managed to catch the California Elmers for a bit of online video chatting before Margaret got too tired and had to take her nap.
We spent the rest of the early afternoon quietly. SAM had finished her reports so I proofed them for her before we got Margaret up and headed up to school to enter them.
It was fun to spend the afternoon together in SAM's classroom and on the playground. At one point, we had Margaret perched on a table while SAM and I entered grades into the system. Fun stuff.
We finished up at school just in time to get home and get Margaret fed, bathed and clothed before rushing out together to catch 6:00 seatings for dinner. Our first choice was taken, but we still had an enjoyable dinner of Korean barbecue where all the wait staff stopped and wanted to get a glimpse and a brief play with Margaret.
Unfortunately, as good as the food was and as nice as the staff was, there was nowhere to change her, so I wound up spreading the changing pad on the floor of the men's room. Luckily for us, it was a nice and new restaurant so the floor seemed clean.
We walked home via the park and had Margaret topped off with some formula and in bed by 8:15. Then, conversations with Roz and my mom and now we're done.
A full day.

What a treat to get these glimpses into your lives- and into Margaret's rapid changes! She was clearly happy with the biscuit, for all that it was shared with the couch! :-) Imagine being able to do as much as you did with her yesterday and her not just melting down entirely. Aging has its advantages! Thanks, John! XXOO
PLEASE tell me you disinfected the changing pad once you got home!
