My blog post this week is a little late, as I have been a sleep-deprived zombie. Arley was in a 5 day (or should I say night?) sleep regression. He finally slept last night, and we are so relieved. I was starting to really worry about him, so hopefully he is back to his old self. We were putting him to bed at 7:30, and he was falling asleep around 10:30. Then he was waking up for a good hour in the middle of the night, then he was up again by 5am. The night before last, he was up for the day at 3am, and then he didn't even nap at school. So last night we were really worried, but thankfully he zonked out and slept for 11 hours. He has been lying on his back to sleep, and refusing to move. No rolling around, no lying on his side, not even turning his head, just looking straight up to the ceiling, holding his toys on his chest. Kind of freaked me out. But hopefully it's all over!
We had a busy week. We had a trip to the farm to visit Lolo and Dida. Carmie and Arley also started playing out in the cul-de-sac in front of our house, Carmie riding her bike, and Arley playing in the storm drain :/ Carmie is desperate to take the training wheels off her bike, and I know it is time, but I just can't bring myself to do it. She's a little accident prone, so I think it could be a disaster. We might wait until winter when she will be wearing more layers.
There was a full moon party down at the harbour on Sunday night, so we took the kids down for some fun. The circus crew was there, and they let the kids play with the equipment, and Carmie thought she was very clever, despite hitting herself in the face about a hundred times. We stayed there for a while, as it was really fun. They had a drumming group, and a fire twirler. Hopefully we can take the kids every month, although that night was the beginning of Arley's sleep deprivation :(
I took the kids to the library, and they felt very grown up borrowing books and using their new library bags. We came home with about 20 books, they just couldn't get enough :)
Australia Day was on Tuesday, but it rained, so we had Carmie's friend Hannah over, with her parents and her little brother Alasdair. The kids had a blast. Hannah stayed for most of the day, and now Carmie can't wait for a playdate at Hannah's house.
