I am really glad it’s Friday. I am really glad that Chloe’s eye is better and that Sophie, so far, seems to have escaped contamination.

Sophie is starting to get used to the idea of getting a bed – when we first told her we had ordered a big girl bed for her room, she protested mightily: “I don’t want a bed, I want my crib!” Over the last couple of days, however, she’s started talking about the “pretty bed” she’s going to soon receive. It helps that her Grammy bought her a new nightstand and lamp – everything in her room is now “pretty.” According to Sophie, Grammy is also going to be bringing her a pretty new chair next week. I don’t think Grammy is aware of the deadline, however.

In one week, we will be on vacation. I can’t wait. My first real vacation since starting the new job – almost seven months ago! Great Wolf Lodge crazy water park resort, here we come! Chloe will be in heaven there. Sophie will likely be completely overwhelmed and my husband and I will probably be in need of a bottle of Extra-Strength Tylenol. Anything for the kids, right?
