When I told her I needed her bag for her actual clothes she stomped past me and drug out the two items she told me she was going to wear next week: her Emler Swim School t-shirt and a pair of too-small shorts.&#160; Then she told me that Vann and I aren\u2019t allowed to sleep at Mimi\u2019s \u2013 we are to drop her off and come back home, making sure we take Baby Ella with us.  Which then made me think that Vann was probably going to be thrilled to get an entire night\u2019s sleep without a toddler showing up at his bedside at 2 am demanding to go potty.&#160;   Toddler Staycation @ Mimi\u2019s house = Happy and Rested Daddy.&#160;   Hmm.&#160; This could work in my favor.&#160;   Especially because I really want these:  <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh4.ggpht.com\/-Rgcny5c_9_8\/Tk6UXt5nJoI\/AAAAAAAAF8Q\/c5crXIAB0z4\/s1600-h\/119107419_ODDOzxew_c%25255B3%25255D.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"119107419_ODDOzxew_c\" border=\"0\" alt=\"119107419_ODDOzxew_c\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lh5.ggpht.com\/-UB9xQ5ZPqVk\/Tk6UYG1GpcI\/AAAAAAAAF8U\/ZElWPrBIE-o\/119107419_ODDOzxew_c_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?resize=388%2C484\" width=\"388\" height=\"484\" \/><\/a>  Do you think he\u2019ll be THAT well-rested???  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whew, it\u2019s been a little heavy around here, no??&#160; Well, in an effort to lighten things up a bit, I thought I would tell you all a little anecdote about my dear Charlie.&#160; Awhile ago Mimi offered to keep C for the week prior to her birthday party \u2013 which actually works out perfectly because [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/119107419_ODDOzxew_c_thumb255B1255D.jpg?fit=388%2C484&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1206,"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions\/1206"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/almostjuliet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
