As usual, I find myself wondering where the weekend went... it certainly doesn't seem like we accomplished much!
On Saturday, we managed to get together with some old high-school friends on Saturday lunch, went with George and Joy to look at our impending new apartment again, had our usual date night in the evening and capped off the eve by spending an hour in the bookstore looking at home decor books (we bought one).
Today, we spent the morning hanging out with some friends, Mushtaq and Asel and their two children this morning before spending the rest of the afternoon (while M napped), learning how to use Google Sketchup together so we can 3D model the new apartment.
SAM was surprisingly motivated and showed off surprisingly strong tech skills. It's super hot to see her wielding a 3D model.
Unfortunately, Margaret has been just a little fussy all weekend. Whether it continues to be teething or tiredness, or some combination, it's not that she's been difficult, but just that she's had more "moments" than we usually get in a weekend.
Added to this is the fact that she's becoming more and more willful and it definitely seemed like there was a lot of dealing with her this weekend.
Something new is that for a couple of nights in a row this past week, she didn't want a bath. She would get in the tub then immediately cry and want out.
For two nights, this meant that we couldn't wash her hair.
My theory is that she knows she doesn't like to have her hair washed so tries to get out before it happens. In fact, Saturday night, she started wailing as soon as she got in, but SAM and I kept her in and washed her hair anyways. As soon as we finished rinsing, she was fine and stayed in the tub another ten, fifteen minutes to play.
Now it's yet another week ahead of us.
SAM and I are excited about the new place and will doubtless be poring over our new book and batting ideas back and forth about what to do to get us through.
I can't wait!

What fun! Your joy and enthusiasm for life bring such pleasure to us all.
Leonard is a hoot!!!
John, you ain't seen nothin' yet -- just wait till SAM gets really going in the home layout and decor department! I so wish I still had the floor plans that we made for the waiting house when we were, what, eight? She's a master at maximal efficiency in minimum space, and has been for years.
Oh, and M? Take it easy on your parents -- break them into the willful toddler stage slowly, okay?
Oh, the fun of home renovation design... It just doesn't get better than those dreams... unless it's bringing them to fruition. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on what you'd like to do!
M has whole new looks and expressions these days. Seems so grown up! Sigh! XXOO
