The Perfect Birthday Present

I think my perfect birthday present would be Zach deciding that using the potty instead of his diaper was a good thing.  Any volunteers for that?

Here's hoping that this year has more of everything good and less of everything bad!

The Toddler Bed

What did we get ourselves into?  Seriously!  No, it's all good...just have a learning curve is all.  Saturday, Zach and I went on a special trip to buy "big boy" bed sheets.  We went to Anna's Linens.  They had a HUGE selection!!!  No, not really.  They had two choices.  Disney Princesses or Cars.  I picked up the 5 piece set of Cars and asked him if he wanted that one.  It was easier that way.  We also got an extra set of sheets and two boxes to help him keep his room a bit more organized.  Oh, and a Wall-E chair to sit in in the living room.

Fast-forward to Saturday's nap.  He kept getting up.  So, I put the side of his crib back on, but didn't lift it up.  He was fine.  When I went to get him from his nap, I asked him if at bedtime we could put the other rail on so he would feel better in bed.  He said yes.  It worked!!!!  And then Sunday morning came, and he was up at 5:30.  All in all, not too terrible.  Sunday's nap was fine.  Bedtime was a bit harder because Dan had to put him back in bed and tell him that he had to stay there until morning.  Monday morning rolls around and Zach is up at 5:30 AGAIN!!!!  This has got to get figured out.  I'm tired enough without having to get up that early.  But, he's not scared, and he likes his new "big boy" bed.

We survived the sickies

Tom is totally over his cold...thank goodness.  Zach is more than halfway through his antibiotic for the ear infection that the cold gave him.  I'm more than halfway through the antibiotic for the almost double ear infection that the cold gave me.  Dan is doing better as well.  This one was a doozy.  It was the first time I had to fill a prescription for Zach.

So, for those of you who sent gifts for Christmas, THANK YOU.  I'm not sure if I'll get real thank you cards out in a timely fashion.  I need to upload the pictures of the boys playing with the new toys, having new books read to them, and in their new clothes.
