Magic Pajamas

I saw these pajamas at Target yesterday and fell in love with them. Little did I know that they would be magic pajamas. For those of you that know Emma well, you've heard me talk about (or have witnessed for yourself!) how she doesn't like to go to sleep. Maybe she's having too much fun and doesn't want to miss out. But her magic pajamas helped all that. She went straight to bed last night without any fuss and slept for over eight hours. I have just fed her and she is back in bed, and she usually sleeps for another few hours. Oh, magic pajamas. How I love you so. I think I'm going to buy twenty pairs.

Maybe she was just tired from the day's activities. We met Amber and Matthew (who is still cooking) for lunch yesterday. Emma was her usual charming self and made friends with the group that sat behind us. She showed Amber her "walking" skills and was perfect the entire time we were at the restaurant.

(By the way, doesn't Amber look great? She's due in October and I can't wait!!)

After lunch, Emma and I did some shopping and then came home to play and make dinner. At any rate, I'm glad that Emma got her rest, because we have another busy day. This morning she has her first play date with three of the five babies that were born at our school last year. Ella (5 months), Cole (5 months) and Mary Carlisle (4 months). After her play date we are meeting my teaching teammate, Laura, for lunch. Can you tell that I am trying to make the most of my last week of summer vacation?
