Sydney and Daddy's Big Weekend

I love my husband. Seriously, I am the luckiest wife and mommy. Brent is so great with Sydney and we are so lucky to have him! I went to San Antonio this weekend with my mom, Corbin and her mom, Erin and her mom, Julia and her mom, and Mika and her mom to celebrate Julia's upcoming marriage. I won't lie, it was the hardest thing ever to leave Sydney, but we have had this planned since before Christmas and I knew Brent had everything under control. I walked in the door to a clean house (including laundry done!) and Sydney was down for her afternoon nap. Brent had kept a faithful log of every time she ate, napped and for how long she slept. Not only did she sleep until 5:00am each morning (a record for Miss Priss), but he did a better job than Mommy on keeping her on a schedule. AND he worked on having her put herself to sleep, so that tonight after her bath and bedtime setup, I put her in her bed and she rolled over, curled her legs up and went to sleep with NO CRYING!!! Words cannot express how thankful I am for such a wonderful husband and father to my daughter.

Yeah Brent and Sydney!! I almost called to check on things. Lauren, I am glad that you had a good weekend. And I am proud of Sydney's new sleeping schedule!! Jackson has regressed - Syd might need to give him a few tips.

That's MY boy!!! Show them silly girls that us Men have a few tricks. Just afraid you pulled them out too early...now she expects it!!
P.S. Glad that cleaning lady could clear her schedule for you!

How sweet! I would love to have come home to a clean house and having Sydney sleeping so well. That's awesome. Maybe I should let Jonathan read this one so he can get some ideas. Glad y'all had such a good time.

Quite the super-dad indeed. And wonderful for you to have that time too. Sometimes Mommy's just need time to recharge. Hope all is well. Thinking of you and Sydney. Danielle
