Our morning chat before Phil left for work.....
Lindsay: I couldn't get to sleep last night until like 11:30! My mind was racing.
Phil: What were you thinking about?
Lindsay: (excitedly) My next bulletin board. It's going to have a spaceship - the one that I made last year - and then I am going to write "Getting ready to BLAST OFF into Grade 7...." I also picked out the colour scheme. You know - the background colour, the border colour, the lettering colour....
Phil: (shakes his head and interrupts) THAT IS NOT OKAY! You need to STOP!
Lindsay: I know. I need to relax and sleep. But the funny thing is that I initially started to plan my board as a getting-to-sleep technique. At one point I was going to get up and get the pencil crayons so I could draw up a visual. I also starting thinking about my start of the year boards for next year...
Phil: (laughs) You need to go back to bed!
The good news is that I went back to bed from 7-11 this morning. The bad news is that I was up with Nory for most of the night. We started bath time earlier than usual (prompted by the world's dirtiest diaper) and it (the Johnson's bedtime bath to be specific) knocked her out at 7 p.m.!!! That meant a glorious 1 a.m. feeding as opposed to the usual 4 a.m. Luckily I couldn't be bothered to get upset at the situation. Nory gave me TWO GENUINE SMILES in the night and my heart just melted. Ladies and gentlemen, our baby is now SMILING!!!!! For real - not just when conversing with Him ;)
I'm in love. With teaching and Miss ELEANOR.
P.S. She was 6 weeks old yesterday. WHOA!
