I think that they hand out awards for things like this...

Last night was my first night alone in our house...it went ok. Usually, I'm so tough in those situations, but given the events of the previous week (neighborhood burglaries) I was a little bit edgy! Clay & I had a great day, enjoying the awesome weather. Seriously, it was 63 degrees yesterday afternoon and we were wearing pants and long sleeves. This is a big change for a girl who has spent the past 3 years on the beaches of Hawaii! (Right now we have windows open and it's below 60 outside...I'm cold!) Anyway, back to the reason that I deserve an award...
Clay ate dinner in our newly painted dining room and then we raced to the bath tub (really...we did race, Clay likes to run) and took a quick bath, then put on pj's, read books, sang a few songs and it was time for bed. I put Clay in bed then headed down stairs for a few hours of tv watching to distract myself from the creaky house. Around midnight I was back upstairs heading to bed myself & (I usually go to bed around 10...midnight is late for me) I peeked in to check on Clay. Something was strange in there....the darn light was on! What a moron. I forgot to turn off the light when I put him to bed. Poor little guy had to drift off to sleep with the light brightly shining into his eyes. The crazy thing is...he went right to sleep without a complaint. (I think he takes after you, Mam.)
So, it's not that big of a deal...but you'd think I'd remember to turn off the lights when putting a baby to sleep...am I really ready to add another kid to my list of things to take care of? I hope so!
