Sleep and Salad

For Mother's Day this year I was given the two best gifts that a 4 month old and a 4 year old could give.

1. August slept through his first full night on Saturday.

No joke.
The real deal.
10 hours straight.
Uninterrupted.

Mind you, this came without warning. Every night leading up to Saturday night would have lead one to believe he would continue to wake up every 3-4 hours. (And, this was not Benadryl or wine provoked.)

Sunday morning I woke up a bit frantic, wet and engorged, I mean, ECSTATIC!



2. Eden began eating salad.

Again, we were given no hint that she had an interest in salad - well, beyond Ranch dressing, of course. In fact, she used to gag a bit at the sight of it.

I realize that this is not that amazing for most (average) 4 year olds. But coming from Eden... (formally) feeding challenged... (formally) texture repulsed... president of the mac-n-cheese and chicken nugget fan club... vice-president of the "no thank you" bite.... Eden.

Happy Mother's Day to me!!
