I've interrupted the artist at work by taking a picture... sorry buddy!

Sophie's far too involved in her decorating to notice the paparazzi

As mentioned in yesterday's post, I continued the rash of cookie decorating by icing cookies with Rowan and Sophie this afternoon. It's so funny to watch them because they take their decorating jobs SO SERIOUSLY... they are miniature artists at work, and heaven forbid they be distracted from their very important jobs! They each worked their way through at least eight cookies while I helped, and I also managed to get a dozen more cookies decorated for Chris to take to work tonight... a very busy and artistic time was had by all. Once Chris leaves for work my evening should be a quiet one (for the first time this week!)... Sophie will be over at Aunt Mary's for a sleepover and I'll have the place to myself. I will NOT be making or decorating cookies, I'll tell you that much! I plan to enjoy a quiet dinner, then settle in to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games with a glass of wine... get a good (uninterrupted) night's sleep, and enjoy the first sleep-in I've had in a very long time. It's my reward for getting through a completely crazy week... bring it on!

Update: Well, it seemed like a good idea anyway. After several hours at Aunt Mary's Sophie called me on the phone in tears to say that she needed her Mommy. My heart breaks, and Aunt Mary brings Sophie back home again. So, no sleep-in for me tomorrow after all - but at least my little babe is home in bed, sleeping quietly and happily, having nothing but good dreams. Mommy's soon to follow, with visions of Olympic glory dancing in my head. G'night all!

Wow things change fast in Mommyland. We were just chatting on the phone and you were looking forward to the O ceremonies. Well at least you know you are dearly loved and needed by your daughter. How sweet.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time Sophie had no problem sleeping over at Aunt Mary's house, but lately she just doesn't want to sleep anywhere unless I'm there too. She had to come home from a sleepover at Sandy's house over Christmas as well - same reason. I'm sure it's something that will pass in time, but until it does I'm telling her that she needs to do what feels right for her - and if that means coming home from a sleepover then it's the right choice. Course, I may not feel the strength of my convictions when she gets me up at 7am... but I'll do my best to remember!
