We marked New Year's Eve with yet another toddler party. We were not the hosting party this year, our friends Kate & Rick were- thank you Kate & Rick. I was a little nervous about how things might go. Two year olds are not really known for their patience, calm demeanor, or ability to share & I was wondering how it might go when we put 6 of them in a room together during a typical "witching hour" (supper hour). But, it actually went very well. Again between watching Sydney & taking care of Jason, I did not take any pictures. The only picture I managed to take was of Tyler holding Jason.
New Year's Eve marked a first since before Jason was born. Brad & I have not been out without the kids in the evening since July. We actually have only been out one other time without kids & that was a lunch for our anniversary. Tyler was kind enough to come stay with the kids once we put them to bed & Brad & I went to Ed & Becky's for the annual sit, eat & drink. Although we definitely seem to do more of the eating these days than the drinking. We have come to the conclusion that we are a bunch of old fuddy duddies.
Although I enjoyed my time out, I did not enjoy the minimal sleep I got that night. I was only in bed for an hour and a half before Jason woke to be fed & was then up with him for almost an hour. He then only slept for another couple hours before waking at 5:30am, so needless to say I was not very bright eyed for much of New Year's Day. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that although I was very tired, my host from the night before was also suffering. Not just from a lack of sleep, but also some over indulging.
Now, we are in 2007 & it so far is a very bizarre January- although I can't say that I terribly miss the blizzards & enjoy the sunny weather. Brad is back to work, Sydney is back to daycare for a couple of days & I am trying to return Jason & I to our regular routine. Next week I hope to introduce Jason to the water, because he is now old enough for us to go to Diaperfit. Lord knows I need the exercise (especially when I pulled a muscle yesterday...WALKING!) & I really am hoping that Jason takes to the water like his sister did!

Am I (or is Eddie) the host your talking about?? I felt good (suprisingly enough) except feeling a litte overtired too.
Oh my goodness....it is hard to beleive that Tyler is old enough to babysit the kids!!!!
