Anxious Bun

Dorrie came over on Wednesday to get "trained in" for looking after Aoife on Wednesday mornings. Tim spent the morning with her showing her what he does with her, and in the afternoon Dorrie spent a couple hours with me. Hopefully, Aoife will be good for Dorrie! We made some changes this weekend for Aoife. Sleeping in the bed wasn't working for us as well as I had hoped. Aoife tosses and turns like a fish out of water in the middle of the night and although I like it when she cuddles against me, she still kicks me a lot and kicks the covers off of us. So to remedy this, we moved the crib against our bed and took off the side of it so that it is flush with our bed. Aoife and I can still cuddle if we want, and we can still wake up together.Tim has been getting allergies this summer, so we went to Urban ore to get an air purifier. Whenever we need a car, we use city car share. City car share is a program where you hire a car for a couple of hours for errands for fairly cheap prices. I'm really glad that we live in a town where we do not need a car. We usually get the Prius which is a cool car to drive. We drove to Emeryville to get some other things, and I also went to Babies 'r us. I love the clothes in that store, but I hate all the plastic junk that they sell for babies. Most of it ends up in the landfill, and we are happy that we buy those types of things used. It's fun to go to Babies 'r us, and I bought a couple clothes for Aoife.

On Saturday, we went to a BBQ with some friends. Tim and I took the BART and then walked to the park. It was a beautiful day unfortunately Aoife was in the most horrid mood. I don't know what happened to her, but she cried the whole time we were there. She was so unhappy and scared. So, we left. I'm so worried about Aoife lately. It seems as if she feels very unsafe outside of her home, and I don't know why. It might have something to do with me being at work and not with her all the time, or she might be going through a developmental phase. I feel bad when she gets upset, and it makes life difficult for Tim and I when we need to get out of the house. Poor Aoife, I hope it's a phase.
Mama Mia came out this weekend, and I'm so excited to see it..why?..because it was filmed on location on the island of Skopelos in Greece that Tim and I visited a couple years ago. I knew they were making this movie over a year ago, and wished that I could have been there for the filming. I'm really interested in seeing the familiar places on big screen. Skopelos is the most beautiful place that I have visited in Europe. There really was something magical about being there, and I hope the movie captured that!
