4.16

Ella slept until 7:30 or so but Poly did not. Poly was so annoying and kept waking me up.

We didn't go run because my hips were sore.

Gio watched Ella for an hour while I cleaned. I set my timer for 50 minutes so that I didn't leave Ella over there too long.

I spent so long cleaning. Ella helped some. Ella did the opposite of helping a lot though. She is cute when she helps unload the dishwasher though.   I cleaned so much.

Ella didn't nap until 2.  But I got her to nap in her crib. I started working on my painted onesies and T-shirts for gifts. I just was tracing and cutting out. I didn't start painting.

Ella didn't sleep nearly as long as she has been lately. She peed and didn't appreciate it so she woke up. I didn't have a chance to get her back to sleep because I had offered Gio that I would watch Lily while she went to Safeway.  Ella woke up just before they arrived so I didn't have time to see if she'd go back to sleep.  We played. I followed them around and would try to clean up what they were messing up so that the place wasn't a total disaster. I spent a lot of time reading to them. For awhile both girls were on my lap at the same time!

It was close to 6 when they finally left.  Ella was starving so I fed her. I ordered Dickey's for dinner and went and got that near 7. As I was ready to get in the car, Dave got home. So I got Ella back out of the car and she went inside with him.

Ella did a lot of screaming at dinner and not eating. I just wanted to eat more. That didn't happen.

Ella didn't go to sleep very well either. I even went and got her and hung out and read her a few books and then tried to get her in her crib again. The second time was much better but she was still up for awhile.

Then I cleaned up the kitchen and dining room and spent 2 more hours working on the onesies/t-shirts I will be painting.  I got 5 templates cut out. I have 5 more ready to be cut out. I have a lot to get done!
