After a *really* bad week of sleep (shrieking, kicking, screaming fits at bedtime followed by the same kind of shenanigans for well over an hour in the middle of every night), I'm heading in to what we hope is "Good Night #5." I kept telling mom and dad that I was scared of random things and I just couldn't calm down, no matter what they tried. One night I was afraid of my dresser, the next night it was mom's alarm clock (I told you it was random) and another night it was a panda bear in my room. We got the new windows on Monday, though (we replaced the windows in the living room AND my room) and daddy told me that the new windows would keep any scary things out. It must have worked because Monday was the first peaceful night in a week! Mom got some new chapstick and there are two tubes in the package - she told me that if I have 10 good nights in a row that she'll give me one of them! Huzzah! Chapstick is enough motivation for me to have good nights! We have a sticker chart on my easel to keep track of how many nights. Fingers crossed we get there :)
I started soccer again last week, but we don't have class this Saturday and I'm going to miss my regular class the next two . Next week is a 5K that daddy and a bunch of friends are running. Mom decided not to sign up because her foot still really hurts. She's had trouble with plantar fasciitis since about a week before her half marathon and has only run twice since the end of February :( A trip to the orthopedist and a round of steroids later and the pain is still there. So she decided just to rest it until it heals, then start running and building mileage really slowly from there. The weekend after next, mom and I are going to Indiana, PA to visit my Great Grandma! She's moving to Charlotte the following week, so we thought we could help pack up stuff and run errands as needed. Anyway, I enjoyed my first soccer class last weekend!
Daddy's been running a lot lately (well, races, at least!) Last weekend he did the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler - this is his third time running it and he absolutely killed his PR and finished in 1:23! It was an early race and it was a bit chilly, so we bundled up and headed down to DC early with dad. Mom and I went for a decent run before the race started - that was one of her two runs since February. Her foot didn't hurt while running, but felt awful afterwards. What a cool place to be, though. We stopped for a quick photo in front of the WWII Memorial with the Lincoln (aka Blinking) Memorial in the background. Pretty spectacular before sunrise!
I'm sure I'll post again after a certain bunny comes to visit on Sunday. Hope you all have a great weekend!
