My dilemma

Gavin and Riley will be three months on Saturday and my first dilemma has arose, well it had, but as of yesterday it got resolved....

Grama W and Grama T had both offered to take a grandson for the weekend...yes, the WEEKEND. We were going to do it last weekend, but the boys weren't feeling well, so it was postponed until this weekend.

The dilemma was, who took who. It's not a large dilemma, but one that kind of stumped me. How do you decide? Yesterday my Mom emailed and said she was interested in taking whoever she was going to get on Thursday night as she was going to visit her Mom on Friday. This entails a Ferry ride to Gibsons and also she is going to a dinner party on Saturday night, but not a large crowd.

In that conversation my decision was made. Gavin tends to do well at the beginning of the evening and then he gets tired and just cries.

We tried this on Saturday when we went to Gord and Winola's for a poker party. I attempted to put Gavin down in a room away from all the noise, but that didn't work. He just cried, so then I brought him back upstairs and he was passed around from Winola to Mel to me to the couch....but alas, he still cried. By this time he was overtired!!! Riley was awake pretty much the whole time, but didn't cry. I guess I should mention that we didn't leave until almost 2am, but this crying started around 10pm.

So Riley is going to go on his first ferry ride to Gibson's to surprise his great Grama B (I sure hope she doesn't read this blog) and then he is going to Uncle Mark and Aunt Nancy's for dinner on Saturday.

Gavin's going to hang out with Grama W and I'm pretty sure he won't mind not going out for dinner, but he might mind not going on a Ferry ride.

So, I'm a bad parent counting the hours. One more sleep with two, then one night with one and then TWO nights with NONE!!!!

We will miss them, BUT I'm going to get this house clean!!!!! Maybe go out for dinner with some friends. Either that or we will sleep for the whole weekend!!!

Happy hump day!!!
