Lunching with the Ladies

Last night I went to bed wishing that Graham would sleep-in this morning. I had no reason to believe it would actually happen since Graham normally wakes up by 7:15 at the latest. Perhaps I should make this same wish more often, because this morning Graham didn't wake up until 8:30! Normally Graham's conversation with his stuffed animals wakes me up each morning. This morning when I woke up on my own and saw that it was already 7:30 I was a bit concerned. I turned the baby monitor WAY up so I could make sure he was breathing (sleeping-in is very un-Graham like), then I proceeded to enjoy my quiet hour. At 8:30 I heard a very loud and emphatic "UUUUUUPPPP" coming from Graham's room. It was almost as if he understood he had slept late and didn't want to waste anymore time in his crib! So began our day....

We had no plans today and I was looking forward to a lazy day at home. Around lunchtime though we had a spur of the moment lunch invite from my mom and her friend who was in town from Duluth. So, Graham and I headed to Wildfire where for the first time he "chose" his meal off of the children's menu. Normally I bring his meals, but without much notice today, I didn't have the time or creativity to pack something up for him. Graham chose a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. He happily ate his food then became tired. Instead of become fussy though, he quietly laid his head directly into his grapes and took a rest! It's too bad it isn't appropriate for adults to lay their heads into their food each time they became a bit sleepy!
