Pictures of things we have recently enjoyed

After bath our ritual is to watch Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin "What's that What's that" is his favorite part. 

Sticks are my best friend and better than any toy my mom has ever bought

First time at a High School basketball game with his best buddy 

I don't know why but he wouldn't let go of his emergency bottle.  I think it was a comfort thing

again mom.....

and again mom.....

I was so happy to get out of the house this evening for the game. I got to see my students play and have some time with my best friend and her kids.

From a co-sleeper to a non co-sleeper

Well when I first knew I was going to be a mom I had it mind what kind of mom I would be. I was going to be a co-sleeping mother I work and away from my son from 8-5 and when I really though about it I really only had 5 hours a day max with him. So I always felt sad not sleeping with him. Now that he is 2 and I am pregnant with our 2nd baby I have changed my mind and my way of thinking. When our new baby arrives I WILL NOT be a co-sleeping for many reasons. My son, at 2 still doesn't sleep through the night and last night he was up at 2:45-4ish. Now to keep my sanity I will sleep train my new baby to sleep in their crib. I have armed myself with some new items that I think will help me through this process. First a video monitor I am going to chose from these two 1. Angelcare and 2.Motorola MBP36 Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor with Infrared Night Vision and Zoom   so I don't have to always be walking in to check on the baby. I also got this book and video to help me. It is from Sleep Planet and I have heard and read good reviews and I hope it works for us. I am going to try to get my 2 year old to sleep by himself also. And I no longer think that I am a bad mom for putting my child in their crib. I will actually be a better mama and wife and human being if I got some real sleep. I love my children move than life itself but when I am to tired to function and be that great mama they need I need to make a change. Here is to better nights full of complete sleep.
