Prince Eli's Busy Busy Day

Today was a busy President's Day for Eli (and for myself, the humble mama-servant of His Honorable Majesty the Prince of All Creation): we had two back to back playdates scheduled here at the house. The first one was at 10am (leaving the tired and frazzled mama-servant barely enough time to clean up the house and get the kid fed and dressed beforehand), and went through lunch. Eli had a terrific time, and the mama-servants even got to spend some good conversational time together once the little princes were distracted with each others' presence.

They left around 1pm (and Eli was sooooooo sad when his friend left, it was so cute), once again leaving the tired and frazzled mama-servant barely enough time to clean up the house for the next round, and the next playdate buddy arrived at 2pm. Eli once again had a terrific time (and I had a chance to get to know a new mama-friend), and was sooooo sad when his buddy left around 5:30. Once we cleaned up and Eli finally recovered from the sad, sad farewells, it was time for dinner. Now we're sitting on the couch watching a movie, both of us tuckered out from our day of successful socializing. (And I have a feeling bedtime will go pretty smoothly, given all the tuckering.)

Whew. Weekend of craziness, coming to an end. One more week of work (and much final baby prep) to go. Then...hold on to your hats, kiddies, it's time for the entire world to shift into a whole new dimension of craziness and exhaustion. Yoiks!
