We started sleep training Kira last Thursday night, and so far it really seems to be working. She goes to bed now between 7 and 8, and will usually stay asleep until 6:30 or 7 the next morning. As a result of her sleeping and napping better, her appetite has returned and she is eating properly again during the day. She put on a whole pound in the last week alone! Plus she is very smiley when she wakes up, and will usually play around in her crib for about 10 minutes or more until you come get her.
The flooring situation is still uncertain. The drying machines were removed on Wednesday, and the washing machine is being repaired right now. It appears to have been a faulty drain combo'd with a faulty drain hose. To be safe, the plumber is changing the hose, making a new drain, and replacing the water hoses as they are over 10 years old. The insurance adjuster was here on Tuesday and said that we will likely have to get all of the flooring replaced because it is unlikely the flooring company will be able to match the existing flooring. Having the floor replaced is both good and bad. Good, because it's brand new flooring that we don't have to pay for, but bad, because we have to leave the house for a couple of weeks while it is being installed.
This weekend is our 10 year grad reunion. It will be interesting to see everyone again and find out what they are doing with their lives. Kira will be going for her first sleepover at Grandma Tracy's and Grandpa Charlies. This will be the first night that she hasn't been with us, but I'm not too concerned about separation anxiety, and I'm pretty sure that Jon is looking forward to sleeping all day Sunday after I leave for soccer.
I'm going to try to upload a video of Kira in her high chair. We just got it yesterday and she loves it, especially because she can be wheeled around the house to see what I am doing. It was nice because I was able to cook dinner last night with her sitting in her chair watching me.
Hope that everyone is doing well and enjoy your last weekend of the summer '08!!
