Sallie Rose's comings and goings

This week has been very tiring already. Sallie rose started ballet on Monday and she really liked it, but since she has school in the morning and ballet in the afternoon and we have a dinner club on Monday nights, we were exhausted. Then, Tuesday she got to have a 2 hour nap, but that is my work day so I missed out on the first 2 hour nap since Christmas!

Today, we did all again, except for instead of school, we went to the mall to meet her friend for her birthday lunch, then ballet, and last Church supper and choir practice for her. She went to bed at 7:45 and I am already in bed as I type.

I was ready for her to have another activity outside of Church, but I am not sure about this twice a week ballet class. Plus, it's only 30 minutes long and that doesn't give me enough time to even run an errand so I just sit in my car. There is a nail place next door and I see a lot of pedicures in my future. Can they even do those in 30 minutes?

It is all worth it, she loves the class and the other girls and she will have a recital in may, that I am sure will be a tear jerker for me.

In other news, no baby name, but the baby is doing great and so far everything is looking good. Sallie Rose told me this morning that she wants to help feed her and I said ok, but then she said she wants to get up in the middle of the night to help feed her. She was so sweet and sincere, it made me cry. She is really excited. She needs a playmate. She needs one so bad that I had to buy a kitchen timer to help her understand that sometimes she has to play by herself for 10 minutes while mommy does the dishes. She also needed it to help her know when rest time was over so she wouldn't lay in her bed for 20 minutes yelling "mommy is it time to get up?". We got a piggy and it worked well today. She did play by herself for about 15 minutes until the timer went off.
