We let Maggie have her first "friend" sleepover last weekend as part of her birthday surprise. I took her and two friends to Ann Arbor to see the Nutcracker Ballet. We had dinner at the original Cottage Inn (the girls were very impressed with the decorative grapes), and then we walked over to the theater. I think they loved the first act. When they realized it was intermission and not the end of the show, they started getting antsy.
Good 'ol Ann Arbor
Nutcracker!
Popcorn for all
We made it through and got home around 9:30 for donut cake, makeovers, crafts and playtime. Maggie's friend showed up with a tooth she lost that day, so Maggie finally pulled out her snaggle-tooth, and the tooth fairy visited both girls LATE that night.
Late night makeover
Evie wanted to badly to be included in everything
I think everyone had fun, but Sunday was a tiring day to get through!
I got to observe the girls in dance class a couple weeks ago, here's a video of Evie... I can't seem to post Maggie's, probably because the music is copyright. \
Hangin with her cool big sis
Ready for action
The following week at dance class, Maggie attempted to do toe-ballet (in very unsupportive shoes) and got a slight fracture on top of her right foot. We took her to the orthopedic surgeon and she has to wear a boot for a few weeks, but she's basically fine.
I've been working really hard last week to sleep-train Ben. He was waking up every night around 2 or 3am, and I either had to give him a bottle or bring him into our bed to get him to fall asleep again. Not cool. So I did the cry-it-out in timed increments method. We started with 1.5 hours of crying with me checking on him every 10 minutes. It tapered off over four nights, and now he is able to get himself back to sleep without me. Please God let this last!
