Happy, happy day

It feels like there's always so much news, it's hard to keep you all up-to-date. We did find awesome daycare for Erik, but now I'm superstitious and I'm afraid to tell you about it, lest she back out. She swore up and down that she was excited about this and not going to back out. I also asked to let us know as soon as she had second thoughts, if she did have them. I'll tell you more in a few days, once I am really convinced this is going to happen.

Last night our friends Stephanie, Jeremy and two year old Abby came over for dinner. I think it's so cute that our two year old friends call Erik, "Baby Erik". Like saying, "Pastor Rob" or "Doctor Sarah". It was fun to have them over, but Erik was a little fussy all evening. Around seven Joe decided to try and put Erik to bed, which Erik seemed to find completely unacceptable. After a while Joe needed a break from the shrieking and handed Erik off to me. Around this time, Abby bonked her head on the wall and once she was calmed down, the Duensings decided to leave. Erik was then coaxed into dreamland sometime between 8 and 8:30. That was the last we saw of him until 7 am. Yes, Erik slept for about 11 hours! He woke up periodically through the night and made some noises but we waited him out and he kept putting himself back to sleep. I'm so thrilled.
