Today is just getting started and it's 5 p.m. as I'm starting this. Tonight we are having our friends over to celebrate Tyler's birthday. It's only 2 days early but no one wants to party on a Monday night so tonight will be the celebration. We have all the food prepared and now we are just waiting for our guests. It's going to be a pretty small gathering. Kendra and Jessica are the only ones we originally invited. Jessica asked if she could invite the pharmacist so he is coming over as well. We plan on eating most of Tyler's favorite food - salt and vinegar chips, doritos, meat, cheese and crackers. I spent the afternoon cutting up veggies so it's not only junk on the table. I made some dip out of some sour cream and dry onion soup mix. I'm pretty excited to celebrate Tyler. We will probably end up playing cards which will be nice with 5 people.
Last night was not too exciting. Tyler came home from work at 5 and I hadn't done anything for dinner. Ryan fell asleep on me and I didn't bother to move him because he always wakes up. He woke up about 10 minutes before Tyler came home so dinner wasn't even close to being started. Also, I knew we didn't have one of the main ingredients for the dish so I was trying to think of something to replace the original meal. I ended up eating left overs and I don't think Tyler ate. I can't recall seeing him eat anything real for dinner.
Ryan fell asleep at around 8:30 and we had talked about just going to bed with him. We were both tired and wanted a good night sleep. Ryan spoiled our plans and woke up crying and hungry. We didn't end up getting to bed until around 10:30.
Ryan woke up at 3:30 so I got a couple hours of sleep. He was up for the day at 6:30 but I certainly wasn't ready to be awake yet. It's no longer about me though. I played with Ryan while Tyler continued to sleep. Ryan was giving me lots of smiles and giggles and that makes the time on the clock unimportant. I love spending time with Ryan. It's probably my new favorite thing.
I could tell that Ryan was still tired so I fed him again and he was right out of it. I was able to get back into bed by 8ish and it was fantastic. I think Tyler got out of bed pretty soon after I came back but I can't be sure. I was out of it as well. It's tiring being awake when you aren't fully ready for it.
Tyler grabbed Ryan when he started to wake up again and I was able to sleep soundly for a while. I was spoiled this morning with sleep and I'm very thankful for it. I was tired.
Our day was spent playing with Ryan and preparing for tonight's party. We made the shopping list and headed out to the store. Ryan was in his carrier and was fighting sleep the whole little trip. The store had most of our food items and we were heading home before we knew it. And Ryan was finally asleep. On our way there, we saw 3 puppies at the house where Calico and TK came from. Tyler got my hopes up by saying that maybe these puppies would end up on our deck and I could take care of them. I know he was just joking up secretly that would be kind of awesome. We got home and put Ryan in his bed and he didn't move for the next 3 hours. It was actually kind of strange to have so much free time on our hands. I was able to prepare all the food for tonight. It was awesome to not be interrupted.
Soon enough though, Ryan woke up and I was on duty. Our friends were about to come and I wanted to get Ryan all full so that we could have a few hours of talking or card playing without me having to take a break to feed him. Ryan was really cooperative with us tonight. He just sat there and didn't fuss until he needed more food.
We talked and ate some good food. It was a really great evening with our friends. They left and now we are trying to get Ryan to stay asleep. He has been so tired all evening and has fallen asleep a few times but just wont stay that way. What a silly boy. He was laughing and giggling all night too so that was just awesome.
