Sunday in review.

Another busy week is gone.  Mallory had bible school all week at the church that Patrick grew up in.  It was Monday through Friday 6:30-8:30.  It would have been more hectic if one of us would have had to stay there with her but Granny was there every night so we just dropped her off and picked her up.  It was a struggle though to get home, get Mal to eat some dinner and get to the church by 6:30.  We managed though and Mallory loved bible school much more than I thought she would.  I had a chance to get some things done while she was in bible school every night, mostly with the house and her birthday party.  They had a program Friday night along with a supper.  All the kids were so cute and they had a lot of fun.

This was during the program...she was a little out of place :) 

Mallory did really good singing & dancing, she was just had a little trouble standing where she was supposed to!


This past week was much better with the sleeping.  It wasn't great or perfect, but it was better.  She even slept through the night one night!!  I think that is about the second time ever, ha!  & she has stopped playing with my hair, praise the Lord!  After one night of pulling on it until my head was sore, I told her she had to start playing with her own hair.  I just keep my hair up & keep telling her she can't play with it & it has gone really well. 

One thing that has helped me this week with understanding accepting Mallory's sleeping habits, is talking to three different moms who have one child who refuses to sleep well (like Mallory), and they all have second children who are great sleepers!!  & they all said they did nothing different with the second than the first.  It makes me feel better knowing it is not something I did wrong, it just goes to show that all babies are different and sometimes no matter what you do, you are going to have a bad sleeper here and there.  We still love Mallory just as much and since she is so cute & sweet it doesn't make it so bad to get out of bed several times a night and look at that pretty face :)

Last night, Grandmother & Grandaddy came over to pick Mallory up and Patrick & I went to a fish fry at Ashley & Megan's house.  Chris & Trish were also there & all the fish we ate were caught by Ashley.  They also cooked homemade chips with homemade ranch dressing, slaw, pasta salad, tomatoes & cucumbers in vinegar and a brownie trifle dessert.  It was SOOO good!!     

I thought Mallory's outfit was really cute, but the first thing my mom said to Mallory was, "What has your mama got on you?!"  Haha!  Oh well, not Grandmothers taste. 

Now, everyone else in the house is enjoying a Sunday afternoon nap so I think I will too!

  2. Glad the sleeping things are helping! And yay for the hair playing strategy! It worked 31 years ago for me, so maybe it will work now!
