How Old are You?

So the past few nights my two year old has formed the habit of screaming bloody murder at nap time and bedtime, oh and in the middle of the night too. To say the least my husband and I have been a little stressed out by it. We tried everything to get her to stop waking up in the middle of the night and nothing worked so we followed my mom's wonderful advise and let her scream it out. There was A LOT of screaming and didn't think it would ever end but last night it only lasted for five minutes. I think part of the reason is because she screamed herself hoarse the past few nights. So now my two year old sounds like a forty year old smoker. All I have to say is it serves her right! And thanks for the advise mom, it worked.

Maybe Next Time

This morning my daughter got to wear her Elmo underwear to see how long she could keep them dry and clean. To my surprise she did quite well until her favorite person came over. Yup once her cousin came over her underwear were wet. Know I'm hoping she just forgot to tell me she needed to go potty and it wasn't she just got too excited to control herself. I'm pretty sure it was the first reason, at least I hope so. Maybe next time she'll be able to do it.

Good Help is Hard to Find

So yesterday when I was doing laundry my daughter and niece decided to "help" me. And by help I mean throw the clothes all over the floor and while I pick up the thrown clothes they unfold all the ones I've already folded. Anyways, my daughter found a pair of underwear and decided they would fit her. She put them on over her diaper and ran around the house with them dangling by her ankles. I think she may be ready for her own underwear. What do you think?

sleep

I would like to thank my new baby boy for giving me the gift of sleep last night. He ate at 9pm then went to bed at 10pm and didn't wake up until 3:30am to eat, then went straight back to sleep and didn't wake up until 8:30! For those who have had kids you know this is a huge accomplishment! I'm so proud. It's amazing how something so small can make such a big difference! I have the best baby ever! ( i love my daughter too, but she always lets me sleep.)

Milestones

Brace yourselves for the most amazing thing my little girl has ever done. She can snap her fingers. So really its not the most amazing thing ever nor do I think it makes her smarter, really I just think it's cool because I couldn't do that until I was 10. It is now her favorite thing to do and she is constantly reminding me how much I snap my fingers at her because now she does the same thing to me. I guess I had it coming to me.

Thanks

This post is dedicated to my favorite sister and my boy's favorite aunt, Bethy. Before anyone else gets up in arms hang on. Without her I wouldn't have been able to see another fabulous ob that was already full, and have gone full term in my pregnancy, been treated better than anyone else at the hospital, and have full confidence that my baby would be delivered safely. Plus a whole bunch of other things I won't mention specifically. So thanks, you made this the best pregnancy and delivery ever! You are a fantastic doctor and even better sister!
