Well it's been quite some time since I've written. It's certainly not because there hasn't been anything happening in our lives. In fact it's quite the contrary. My hubby is on about day 17 or so of working non-stop with just one day off. My daughter is becoming a big girl more and more everyday. And of course...we have the owl issue.
My hubby has suddenly become worried that somehow he is going to manage to screw up our daughter for life by working a second job. I know how he feels. I felt the same way when I went back to work after being a stay at home mom for the first 9 months of our daughter's life. Our deal with him getting another job was that he would work every other weekend. It just so happens that plan isn't going to work this month because he has refresher courses offered 3 of the 4 weekends. The fact is that our daughter loves her daddy and they are wrapped around each other's fingers. Working some extra shifts isn't going to change that. She will just need some extra daddy time when he is home. I hope that he will be able to realize this and stop worrying about it sooner than later.
On other notes, today is the first day that our little monkey made it through a whole day without the help of the dreaded pullups other than for the ride to and from daycare and for her nap! She also conquered the kiddie slide at the waterpark over the weekend! We are so proud of our little lady. I am amazed every day at the wonderful little girl that she is becoming.
While taking the dog out for her nightly potty break, a great mystery was solved at our house. Little lady has been occasionally having problems with waking up in tears during the night saying that there's an owl going hoo hoo outside that scared her. My hubby and I have assumed there was merit to her claims although we've never heard this owl at all. Well tonight I heard the owl and sure enough he's in the tree in the neighbor's yard. My guess is that on the nights when she has been waking up scared, the owl has been getting a kill in the yard Anyone who's ever heard that sound knows it's quite terrifying even for an adult! She's not scared of him at all most of the time and has even recently been seeking anything with owls on it for decorations in her room. I can't wait until she gets up in the morning to tell her that I finally heard her friend the owl. Most of the time it is good to live in an area with diverse wildlife!
That's about it tonight...I'm off to scour more pictures for my pinterest boards and coupons for my next grocery outing. Have a wonderful night!
