Gavin seems to be getting up earlier and earlier. Not sure why- he's going to bed a little bit later than before. We tried to keep a 7pm bedtime routine, but he'd lay in bed and cry for about 30-45 minutes before falling asleep. So we moved the routine to 7:30p- and he would fall asleep within 10 minutes most nights. Perfect, so we thought, we didn't want him crying every night! But alas, now he's up a little bit earlier each morning. Today it was 6:15a. Ah, part of me can't wait for the age where he recognizes weekends!

Today Gavin is going to his first "friend birthday party." One of his classmates, Sophia, is turning 2. She's having a party at "Bouncing Bob's." It's one of those spacious rooms with tons of stuff for kids to romp around on. I'm so looking forward to seeing Gavin have fun! Don't worry, I'll take snaps! Unfortunately, Jeff won't be able to join us ~ he's going to make the "rent run" this morning. Hopefully he'll make it for a few, he's going to leave super-early.

Tomorrow is our station's Cinco de Mayo event. I'm looking forward to it being over. I swear, getting ready for these big events really takes me out of commission. I'm so busy at work, I can hardly get anything done! Fortunately, my new assistant started a couple of weeks ago. She's great! I still haven't gotten her up to speed on some things, but we've been really busy on Cinco and she's been a terrific help.
