Today everyone slept in till 8 am. It was very nice. It would have been nicer, however, if Noomi hadn’t been up several times last night. I guess that’s our fault really, we were all out late last night and one thing we hardly ever mess with is our night time routine and bed time (which is 8 pm at the very latest). Last night we messed with both those things, but it was New Year’s Eve and both kids did enjoy themselves. We ended up going over to a friend’s house and were there till 10:30. Noomi has never been up that late. Both kids, however, did very well! There were no fights, no hitting, and generally low volumes (for ninos). Ajax was a ham and after Noomi warmed up a bit she kept walking up to everyone and holding up her hands to be picked up. It was too cute. By 10:30 we decided we had to split as we could all see meltdowns coming. Both kids passed out after only 4 minutes in the car. Ajax even got to try some “crackers” which he kept thinking he could eat in the car and once he realized they popped open, he was so excited. The hostess even let him take a few home, which was way nice.
After everyone finally got up and moving today, we met grandpa Rod 1/2 way and he took the kids back home to Mikado so they could babysit tomorrow and Friday, as Dave and I have to work. We met at the Cracker Barrel, which both kids LOVED.
