Stay on the Road Mommy!

Thursday, Hailey earned her First Smile sticker on her calendar! She's been smiling off and on, but we attributed it to reflexes. Then on Thursday, she smiled several times directly at me and also at Ahmad! It was such an adorable precious smile and I can't wait to see more of it! Hopefully I'll even catch it on film soon. She also is turning her head to follow me when I move around the room and is grasping onto me, my clothes and my hair. I love seeing her change and grow already! So amazing!

So today Ahmad had to work part of the day, which means I was home alone with both the kids for really the first time of any length of time. I've been home alone with them for an hour or so in the evening, but not much longer than that. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about how it would go. I figured it was a bit of a test run before Miles starts daycare part time and I'll have them both home most of the week. It went really well! I don't think Hailey got as much sleep as she would have liked, but everything else went great: we did play-do, ran from lions, played in Hailey's room, danced, ate lunch, and even got to our tax appointment on time! Yea us!

Miles has been playing a lot of video games lately, namely Mario Kart with Ahmad. Sometimes I play with him, but I usually try to get out of it. Well, I played with him this evening and let's just say that it's pretty sad when your 3 year old tells you to stay on the road!
