NOTE: This entry was originally posted Thursday night, May 20, 2010. However, I was quickly alerted that such a posting would possibly give away a surprise party that was in the works. As such, I've delayed the posting until now. Hope this helps.
Sorry the posting is as sparse as it is. That's what happens when real life and a three (nearly) year old wear you down. Oh well.
In the morning, Ellie and EM join Nanny and Pa for a weekend trip to Philly. Once again, I'll be all by my lonesome (sort of). Ellie seems to be looking forward to the experience (Phil-E-delphia) and flying. I'll certainly miss her.
As EM was packing for the trip, it dawned on us that this is Ellie's last night in her crib. She has never once asked to not sleep in her crib. She's never tried to get out of her crib. We're pretty lucky, I guess. But with her third birthday fast approaching, we've been talking to her about getting "big girl" bedroom furniture. Well, we learned today that the furniture we selected for her arrives Monday. So tonight she's in her crib. Friday and Saturday she's with EM in a hotel bed. Sunday we have to have her old furniture out, so she'll probably sleep on a twin mattress on the floor. Yet another milestone. As much as we're all looking forward to this and we've tried to "talk it up", I feel certain it will ultimately be met with some resistance and tears.
Finally, overheard while packing...
EM (to Ellie): How many times must I repeat myself?!
Ellie (without skipping a beat): Three times.
