August 9, 1967 - Wednesday "Hurray! Cynthia slept from 6 PM to 4 AM. It looks like she's moving toward all night sleep at this tiny 4-week stage. She's really something! ...This was an exceptional day -- much smoother than most have been since Cynthia's birth. The morning was frantic with both children awake, then the bathrooms and kitchen to clean and a few phone calls to boot. But from lunchtime on, all went well.
Beth and the boys arrived at around 1:00, after our lunch and during Lynn's. Lynn was passed around from one area to another. She enjoys her mobility in the walker very much! I'm sure she will walk fairly soon...Beth is rested, relaxed after 2 weeks in Florida and 2 weeks away from the children and household in Springfield. Talked for a couple of hours.
Then Lynn and I took a quick shopping trip to Randhurst. She's such a cute, bright little thing. We're very lucky to have her. Darlene Cibic called today and I declined dinner this Saturday. Dan and I started to go over our social calendar, but gave up. The last few years have been unbelievably busy. I'm afraid that one day I will look in the mirror and see an old woman gazing out. I hope I age with grace, wisdom and good humor.
Beth was my brother's first wife. Her mother lived in Springfield, so may have taken the boys while Ken & Beth enjoyed a vacation. They lived in Des Plaines IL at that point with their 2 boys. Philip was almost 6 and Roger nearly 3. Darlene & Bob Cibic were good friends...Cindy did not sleep through the night until she was about 3 months, so I was overly optimistic!
