Spring Retreat

This weekend I went on PWOC’s Spring Retreat. It was up in the mountains by the Tea House, about 45 minutes away. It was fun, but I’m always exhausted after these things...I think that’s backwards. This was the longest I have ever been away from Emma...48 hours! I did get to sleep until 6:53 Sunday morning...which may not be sleeping in to most people, but it was for me. 

Also...Steven had been getting up with Emma a couple times earlier in the week. ..and apparently she no longer wakes up at night. 🤷‍♀️ For 3 years she has been waking up an hour after she goes to bed, crying, inconsolable. She never remembered anything. But I couldn’t go to bed until she did it. Some nights she wasn’t so bad, I would take her potty and she would go back to sleep. But some night she would jump on her bed, run around the living room crying and jumping...and many nights she did it more than once. She wasn’t coherent. I had a friend tell me to wake her up to shake her out of her sleep cycle and it should go away. But I couldn’t wake her up! I talked loud, clapped in her face, etc. But she Steven could wake her up apparently. She has taken breaks from this before, but hopefully we are done with this!!! I am just glad I can go to bed earlier. Maybe one day she will learn to sleep in. 

I didn’t take this, but this is a picture from our retreat.

I hit the mother load! It must be strawberry season here. Also these were on the verge of going bad so I bought them half off. Emma has been devouring them.

A tiny Japanese truck. It said ‘midget’ on the back.

I sat with Emma a few minutes before the field trip. They were on their computers.

She wanted a picture of us before I left.

They had a sock hop at school last week.
