Sleep training has not been as successful as hoped, but ec does seem to be sleeping for longer stretches at night and putting himself back to sleep if he stirs. On the other hand, es now cries "I miss my mother," even when E is in the next room. So we are working on that.
Shelley came for uncle Jim's memorial and is staying with us for a few days. We don't see her often so are enjoying her visit, though we still have choir, childcare, normal activities going on.
Speaking of the memorial, I found it lovely to see all the people who came by to honor Jim and Lynn. Band members. Quilters. Bridge players. Neighbors. Friends of the family from the past. Pat and Shirley and three of their daughters. At one point two young soldiers (Marines?) in their dress blues came by and played taps then presented Lynn with one of those carefully folded American flags, thanking Jim for his service to our country. Pictures and statements about Jim posted through the house, food set up in the garage, desserts in the living room, people visiting on the front lawn on the warm, sunny fall afternoon...a great way to say farewell to this good man.
Yesterday es spent quite a while in her Peter Pan costume. We each played several roles from the story. It was fun! E bought her some suede boots, like Uggs, which she added to her outfit.
A lot is coming up as we enter the extended holiday season, so perhaps I'll post more often.
