Tonight is Sunday night; since Thursday afternoon, Sami and I have been on our own. As a Father’s Day gift, Sami and I decided Craig could use some “time off”, so we bought him a plane ticket to go visit his friend Greg in Vermont. Normally, we would’ve all made a trip to New England this summer, but because of the pregnancy I haven’t been able to fly. So, we decided to give him a gift of some “guy time”, to do whatever guys do when they’re hanging out together.

As for us girls, we got off to a bit of a rocky start due to the big-girl bed transition – the first night, Sami got out of her bed and fell and hit her head, and in my panic to get in the room and get to her, I broke the gate on the door. Then I couldn’t get it fixed, and ended up loosing it and yelling at her, which then made me sick to my stomach – I *hate* yelling! But, she seemed relatively unscathed when she woke up the next morning. I’m using a toybox to block the door now, and she has done a good job, sleeping in the bed about half the time, and on the floor about half the time. Naps during the day are still harder, I’m not sure why.

Other than that, we’ve had lots of fun adventures while Daddy has been gone. I kept her home with me on Friday, so we had three solid “girls’ days”. We got some new bookcases in an effort to put our house into order, and she helped me build them – don’t laugh – she really was a good helper, handing me tools, etc. We went to Tot Shabbat services on Friday, which she loves. We’ve been shopping a couple of times, and we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant last night with Kim. I have had such a blast with her! It makes me wish I could spend more time with her…
