* We have started a new nap time routine for the boys. Lately instead of taking naps together they would just play and not get a nap at all. This resulted in a frustrated mommy and cranky children. So now Tyler has "quiet time" in our bedroom and Carter naps in their bedroom. In our room Tyler gets books and his laptop. So far he has fallen asleep all but one day. Carter is having the harder time adjusting as he also wants to be in mommy and daddy's room. I usually have to go in there a couple times and he also now wants books in bed with him. Each day the amount of time it takes for him to fall asleep is getting shorter so needless to say its been a happier home this week! And an even bigger bonus- bedtime has been much easier as well since we made this change!
*Tyler is becoming the best big brother anyone can ask for. Not only are the fights between them very minimum, but they way they play together is just priceless. Always sharing, helping each other out, and just wanting to be together. Tonight said it all. The boys were watching Toy Story and a "scary" part came on. Carter is being extra sensitive and started crying. It was Tyler who calmed him down telling Carter that it was o.k. and it would be happy at the end.
*The weather has been nuts lately with snow one day and then 50's the next. I blame this on the colds going around our house.
*Not only did our computer break this week, but someone also threw a rock thru Justin's car window while it was sitting in our driveway (seriously?!?). Because of this however Justin took last Monday off. It turned into a very nice family day, which was much needed as Justin is in the thick of his busy season at work getting home at 7 every night - and then he has that second job too. Its been a fun week.
*The things that come out of the boys laugh make me smile, laugh, and give double takes all day long. Right now I can't remember a single one. But trust me when I say they say very funny things!
*Here are just a couple of pictures. The first one is of Carter trying on daddy's shoes. The second is of my three boys reading together.
