Started Rose on the, "cry yourself to sleep" sleep method last night. I got bedroom duty while Kate got maybe her first full night's sleep since Rosie was born out on the couch. She was up, out of her swaddle at 2330, I checked on her about midnight and found her rolling around her little bed going crazy. I implemented the double swaddle and it was gold. She knocked out about 0045 and slept until Kate woke her up at 0700. Awesome. I even felt pretty rested after that six hour chunk o' sleep. Rose just started eating some rice cereal this week too. So far she's a ravenous eater. She did great. We felt like she's been interested in food watching us eat for her whole life. Now she's getting it. Good for Rosie.
Both girlies are at Pete's now. That sure makes things easy. Clare still loves school, but had a little clingy fussy stretch when Rosie started.
Did a bunch of dresser shuffling today... one off the patio to our room, our room to Clare's room, Clare's room to the car and back to Good Samaritan from whence it came. This house is too small for us, especially now that Rose needs a room. Kiddies are growing up on us. Rose needs a bed, Clare needs a big girl bed. Now... what to do, what to do? Buy a new house with an indefinite, possibly, hopefully short stay in Helena. Kate's got a couple leads on jobs here, a few in Oregon... interesting to see what happens. Years from now I'll read this and know the answer. Hope it turned out well old Dave. Young Dave out.
