funny sundays and rough mondays

it is a rare evening that i don't have a stack of 200 papers to grade and no planning to do for the next day, so i decided to celebrate the occasion with a blog. :)

this weekend my bestie was in town, and we had a blast. that blast however, included not much in the sleep department. friday night i was up til 2 and then up at 6 when Lae woke up, saturday i was up til midnight then up at 6 with Lae, then sunday i was up until midnight planning for the week and again up at 6 for work. this afternoon it really hit me hard, so we had a rough mommy day. i am a little ashamed to say it, but i laid on the couch with my eyes closed all afternoon while Lae played with her toys. i barely talked to her, barely played with her, and i even brought her to bed with me and nursed her to sleep so i could get a 20 minute cat nap to help ME make it to bedtime. i decided that i would make it up to her tomorrow with a trip to the park or the pool. it's good that kids are so forgiving.

Lae is quite the hit at church. she is very social (just don't try to take her from me), and loves to make eyes at people. she loves watching kids and if she doesn't have her paci in her mouth she will have full on babble conversations with the people in the row behind us. she's also stinkin cute so everyone just loves making her smile and laugh. this week in relief society was HILARIOUS! she woke up from a nice nap with about 40 minutes left in the meeting, and she decided that she would like to be down on the floor. i put her down and grabbed a handful of puffs and her sippy to keep her occupied. she was sitting in the middle of the floor in the back, but there were about ten or so ladies that were more interested in her than the lesson. she was putting on a show too! she was doing her little head shake, waving at everyone, and showing off how she could feed herself puffs. at one point in the lesson, the teacher was having quite the moment. she was telling a very personal story, it was very quiet in the room, she was very emotional and even crying. Lae decides that this is the perfect moment to let out a belly laugh. Of course we all start laughing (as silently as possible), with one lady even turning red in the face. :) Oh how i love my little peanut and her funny little personality!
