As I mentioned before (I think) Chris is going to be working later in the day on Fridays and Saturdays. This is to make it easier for me in the mornings and also so we don't have to worry about transportation since so many events for Tabitha happen on Saturday. Well, since Tabitha has her show tonight and Chris is already taking a ton of days off this month, he went in this morning. He'll only be there a few hours and then will meet us at hula class. He needs to be there because he's the one that does all the practicing with Tabitha. I can teach her anything in the world, but I cannot practice dance with her. We both end up frustrated as all get out so that is Chris's dept. Anyway, my point is that he's not here this morning and I have to get us all ready and out the door by a certain time by myself. That's not an easy task with a baby that doesn't sleep for longer than 20 minutes at a time until around 10:00 (about the time we're leaving). And she's not a "put her on a blanket and she'll be fine" type of baby. Actually, she has been enjoying her baby gym more and more this week and does bat at the toys every now and then. But mainly, she'd rather doze in my arms. Which would be fine, but it makes it hard to do things like brush my teeth or put Tabitha's hair in a bun. So this morning has been interesting and really makes me appreciate the days that Chris is here and I can do everything that needs to be done in a matter of half an hour.
