Did you miss me?

Sophia went to stay with her Grandma Mary and Papa Steve last night. I am certain she had fun. So, when I picked her up I asked her if she missed me. She nodded her head and said yes. I asked her if she missed Gavin, again she nodded and said yes. I asked her if she missed daddy, she shook her head and said uh-uh! I told her she shouldn't tell daddy that ;)

We got home from school and I played with her for a bit before it was time for her to take her nap. We had fun cuddling and watching Bob the Builder on PBS. She tuckered out and slept easily. Shannon was home by the time she woke up. I went to get her up and brought her out. I had a thing to go to so I asked her if she wanted daddy to hold her. She laid in his arms for several minutes, just hugging and cuddling with him. It was very sweet. I suspect she did in fact miss daddy afterall.

She has been sleeping better. It is no longer a struggle to get her to go to bed and stay in bed (knock on wood). She is also napping and sleeping in (until 6:30-7:00). She has almost stopped asking for wubanub completely. Eating is still a bit of a struggle, but somedays are better than others, and that gives me hope.

Gavin I have decided wakes when Sophia does, or rather, maybe she wakes him up. With Sophia gone Gavin slept until 7:00, had a bottle and went back to sleep until 8:30, when I had to wake him to go to his MMO (Mother's Morning Out) program. He ate a hearty breakfast of an order of pancakes from McDonald's. He really does eat a lot.

I attended a dinner event at church tonight. The CMS superintendant Dr. Peter Gorman was the speaker. I learned a lot about the school district Sophia will likely be a part of. They offer so much I did not know about in terms of magnet schools and such. I have some time to think about where I might like her to go, if we choose to go that route. In the meantime it gives me something to research.

I saw several people at the dinner that I knew and am starting to feel more at home at Sardis. I am planning to take the new member class in November. Keep me in your prayers that this will go well. I would like to get Shannon back at church. I know that he has drifted spiritually, I hope that I can get him back on that path.
