Wherein Libby Gets on Schedule

I told Emily about my 4 am ponderings: "Wherein would be a funny word to start a blog post title" - "Whereupon is also a funny word" - "Whereupon he ordered them to cut the chains that Joseph wore." The last one is part of a song from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, whose soundtrack cassette I'm surprised we did not wear out as kids. It was funny to me how I progressed, and how, of course, it ended in song.

This is Day Three of attempting to live on daycare schedule. It is going pretty well. Eating on a schedule is really pretty perfect. Sleeping on a schedule is not going as well, but I have hope. Libby did not nap well yesterday afternoon at all, but she slept really well last night (probably exhausted!), and today will hopefully be better. I don't know how the afternoon is going to go, because I'm getting my hair cut and going to a friend's house. Todd told me he might come home at lunch if he isn't feeling better (he has a horrible cold), and I secretly hope he does so she doesn't have to come to the salon with me and can take her normal nap.

Which brings me to a fantasy of mine. My dream is for a benevolent benefactor to appear in our lives to allow Todd and I to both be stay-at-home parents with Libby until she is at least five years old. I just love to be at home being a family together. Also, since I have become a mom, I've gotten much more out of housework. I like to take care of our home for us! I know I would love being a stay at home mom, but I don't think Todd could handle it. I think he would get too bored.
