We said Good Bye to Ammy today.

This morning Kylie woke up at 7:30am in her own bed, after climbing in bed with Cooper and I for some na nas, I asked her, "do you remember who is at our house this morning?" As soon as she remembered it was Kyle and Jess she got straight out of bed and went looking for them. We think she walked to the living room, where Kyle was sleeping on the couch but she either didn't see him or decided she wanted to find Jess first. She then headed upstairs, by herself which she usually won't do, and immediately woke Jess up.

We had a great morning all together, eating a good breakfast and visiting. Kylie got to take one more ride in the Big White Truck with Ammy and Jess before Ammy had to get on the road. When they came back from the ride around the neighborhood, Kylie wanted Kyle and I to join them in the car and listen to the Littler Peter Rabbit song on Ammy's kids song CD. So we sat and listened and sang, it is amazing what a group of adults will do when a cute 2-year-old asks. We then said Good Bye to Ammy. We were all sad to have her leave, it has been a wonderful 10 days, Kylie got tearful and said "I don't want Ammy to leave." Ammy gave Kylie some new socks before she left, this helped to soften the blow a little bit and we immediately went inside and put on a pair. I was then nursing both kids when Kylie popped her head up and said "I forgot to say Thank You to Ammy for the socks." I was so surprised she had realized she forgot to say thank you, she said she wanted to call and tell her on the phone, so we did.

We walked around downtown with Kyle and Jess then enjoyed a yummy lunch at Eureka Burger. Kylie took a long 3+ hour nap while I got to visit with Jess and Kyle. After Kylie woke up, Jess and Kyle decided to get on the road back to San Diego.

Feeling a little sad about our empty house, Kylie  wanted to go visit Ama and Papa. We ended up having a wonderful dinner while we were there. Kylie and Cooper got to take a bath together and we got ready for bed. We eventually ended up walking home and I had my first night of trying to get them to sleep by myself. It was hard because Cooper couldn't seem to be able to get comfortable and Kylie was not sleepy. It took a while and finally Cooper fell asleep, I was able to put him in his rocker next to Kylie's bed, then focused on her until she fell asleep. It went pretty well, but I am not eager to do it again any time soon.

Please make sure you have seen the invitation to Coopers Welcome Baby Party. I am not sending an official invitation, so consider yourself invited :o)

More to come soon.
