TIME KEEPS ON TICKING
Well were do I begin? The Van Der Ark Family arrived on Monday, they came over for coffee Tuesday morning and we enjoyed the catch up and seeing how everyone had grown over the year. They are here for 1 month so we will be sure to see more of each other, it’s really nice that we’ve been in contact over all these years I really enjoy seeing them.
Darwin and I have been mixing up our schedule and staying at home most mornings then heading to the beach (Pavills at Ho ‘okipa) around 2pm then back home before dinner. I think it’s because of this transition to one nap, it’s earlier and i’ve been tired too so I can lye down when he naps which helps.
Last night was Amy’s Birthday Party which Trish and Cinco hosted at their lux pad, it was a Disco Party with plenty of platforms and afros. Jason and I were only there for a couple of hours while Lindsey watched Darwin at home for us.
The office is almost finished with just the inside trim to have it’s final coat of paint. I’m excited to have Jason move all his computer stuff off the dining table and to move the couch from the spare room in there too. I’m planning to make the spare room into Darwin’s new room where he will sleep on a twin bed but who knows how long that transition will take?
I didn’t last the week of my “Darwin sleeping in project, he wakes between 5 - 5:45am and that’s just that I’ve finally accepted that he is an early riser and thats that. I count my lucky Zzzz’s that he goes to bed at 6:30pm and doesn’t wake again until morning. After all it can’t go on like this forever…can it, at least when he’s a little older he won’t need me right there with him as soon as he wakes up hence trying to get him into his own bed early so he can get out and start his day on his own.
I spoke to Jazz yesterday for the first time in well over a month, we are really looking forward to their visit in September. I think about Jayne all the time, all the people I’m not in touch with very well these days I think about you all, all the time and I’m sorry I don’t keep in touch.
Well with all that said and done. It’s another beautiful day in paradise and I’m off to read a few books to our wee one before his nap. Peace.
Hey Ruthie I’ve got some bed rails we’re not using, would you like them for when you starting putting Darwin in the bigger bed?
Don’t count out getting later sleeps I remember Kawika pulling a few weeks here and there of up with the birds. It made me mental that’s for sure and thank gawd for the longer afternoon nap, I would have died without it - I’d nap as well;). I’ll keep my fingers crossed that D sorts out his sleep and starts waking up and a more reasonable hour. And you’re right it will get better once he can entertain himself better.
