Busy Busy

I did not post on Sunday because we have been pretty busy. This week at work as not been a good one for me. I come home mentally and physically exhausted. I usually am not in the mood to blog. I wish there were more hours in a day or two of me!

Joey and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary yesterday. Since it was during the week, we did not do much. Joey brought home dinner from a nearby restaurant. We are planning on going out to dinner at a really good fondue restaurant on Friday night. Friday night is also a big night for Ashlyn. When we were at Ashlyn's gym class this week, they were advertising for a "Parents Night Out". It is from 5-8pm. The more I thought about it, the more I thought it would be a great idea for Ashlyn. It is very reasonably priced. The kids get to eat pizza, play games, make crafts, and run around. I think she could really use the time interacting with kids without any of us around. Joey and I are going to be at dinner anyway, so I think it will work out great. I am just nervous because this is the first time I have not been able to just pick up the phone and check to see how she is doing. I think we will all have a great night!

Ashlyn has been talking up a storm. She has really perfected 'Mama." She says it ALL the time. I can never get enough of it. It is so surreal sometimes that someone is calling me "Mama". She also has learned to say "Uh oh". That is another favorite. Everything is "Uh oh."

We have also had her practicing with a fork as well as a spoon. She is getting the hang out of it.

Swimming lessons start next Wednesday night. Even know I will be the one swimming with Ashlyn, Joey is coming along to watch. I am going to have him take lots of pictures. I bought the cutest bathing suit for Ashlyn to wear.

We have another problem on our hands. My Mom put Ashlyn down for her nap yesterday. My Mom was in another room and heard a sound like someone was breaking in. She went into the room where Ashlyn sleeps. When she opened the door, Ashlyn was standing there and said "hi!" My Mom was very shocked! She was able to lower the mattress a little more, so I am hoping that this is not going to become something she does all of the time. I think her crib at home is a lot harder to climb out of. I am not ready to fight that battle!

I apologize for the lack of pictures this week. We really did not take any. I will take some on Saturday when we go to Ashlyn's gym class. She has lots of neat things that she wants to show everyone.
