This week has been very busy but good. Scarlett's sleep has gotten better. We have given up on her evening nap altogether, but she is going down more easily for her two daytime naps and it has been taking her less time on average to fall asleep at night. She has come out of her mommy-only separation anxiety and is now equally clingy again with Daddy. On Thursday we went to the Light the Night 2010 kickoff with Tracy, Dan, and the kids. We're going to be walking this year on Team Goodwin. Dan is still battling Leukemia and my dear friend, Dave, is now officially in remission so we have a lot to walk for! They had a live band at the event and Scarlett was dancing her little booty off! She is definitely entertaining these days. She has a bunch of little games she likes to play now, including hide and go seek. I hide in the bathroom or on the side of her crib and she crawls really fast to find me. She squeals with excitement when she finds me! Very cute. We've been continuing to find new activities for her. Scarlett and I went to the playground to swing and play in the sandbox when I got home from work on Tuesday (Daddy was at the gym). On Saturday we went to Chinquapin Recreation Center for the soft play room. It is essentially a big padded room for toddlers who are learning to toddle! Saturday night we got together with Paul's friend DK and his family for dinner. They have 3 girls -- one 6 year old and 4 year old twins. One of the 4 year olds, Ella, loves babies so she took good care of Scarlett. Scarlett loved the girls and had a fantastic time at their house. It is huge with lots of space for her to crawl at top speed. At Gymboree this week Scarlett started to warm up a little bit, but we're finding that it takes about 20 minutes or so for her to warm up when her peers are around. She finally did start crawling around and playing with a few of the other kids during open gym. This week Paul and I both have quite a few meetings so things will be hectic. This weekend we plan to head up to Baltimore to see Flossy. Fun times ahead!
