We took the girls to Cosi today because Dan had the day off. We planned on leaving around 9:00 so we could get there at 10:00 when it opened. We didn't get out of the door until around 10:00. We tried, but it was a crazy morning. Both girls were up through the night so we all slept in until 7:40! We haven't done that in a very long time. Mya was up through the night wanting to sleep in "Daddy's bed." We let her join us and then I tried to put her back in her bed once she fell asleep. Big mistake. She cried and cried so I slept with her in the reclining chair in the living room for about an hour. Then she finally went to her bed to sleep. Around 5:30 in the morning she came to our room with her pillow and joined us in bed again. Dan and I were too tired to fight with her about it. Plus if she cries she wakes the baby up. Ugh! In the meantime Sara got up a couple times to eat. So by morning we had four people in our queen bed. Craziness. The funny part is that Mya doesn't just sleep in between us, she insists that one of us put our arm around her so she can sleep in the crook of our arm. Comfortable for her, but not so comfortable for us. Needless to say we didn't get a lot of sleep. Anyway, we did make it to Cosi and the girls had so much fun. There is an early childhood section on the second floor designed just for infants and toddlers. The slides and the water area were a hit for both girls. After Cosi we stopped at Easton and ate at P.F. Changs. That is our favorite place to eat! Yum! Once we arrived back in Ashland we stopped by the nursing home to visit Grandpa Brindle (Dan's grandpa). Last week he fell and fractured his hip so he is recovering from this injury. All in all, it was a great family day. Oh..I forgot to mention the best part of the day. Sara crawled across the room and Dan was there to see it. What a sweet moment!
