Moving to a big boy bed…

Posted by: | Comments (0)

While Holly and I had the weekend off from the boys, so we spent some time trying to find a new bed for Evan. Well the mattress was an easy find (there’s a whole other story with that). The bedding showed up next (see below). Evan was so excited to get to sleep in his "big boy bed". The big adjustment will be when we get the frame next week. Evan’s room is small, so he’s getting a bedframe with drawers underneath. This means the top of the bed sits quite a bit higher than his old bed, so he’ll have to use a stool to get in/out of bed for a while.

The first night he has to get up to go to the bathroom will be interesting.

I’m sure Holly is muttering the actual name of the style of bed Evan is getting as she reads this.

Sorry honey.

Evan (while giving a big hug to me): I love you so much, but I’m not your boy. I’m Mom’s boy, forever. Sorry Dad.

Ehhh… he could have said worse.

Taking charge of a situation…

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Sometimes when you wake up in the morning you find little surprises of what happened while the rest of the house was asleep. Holly continues to get up extra early for work so she’s usually the one to find these surprises first. Lately it’s been a dog had an accident, so she hasn’t had any ‘good’ surprises until this morning. Holly normally checks on the boys before starting work and this morning she found a pile of clothes in the middle of Evan’s floor. She felt the clothes and they were wet – it appeared Evan had an accident over night.

Really? I didn’t go in to help him. Holly didn’t know about it until she literally stumbled on the clothes in the middle of the floor. She found Evan sound asleep in his bed as if nothing was wrong. Huh? So what happened? We’re guessing that Evan had an accident, woke up from the accident, changed his pajamas, climbed back into bed and went back to sleep. And he did all of this without saying a word or making enough noise to wake anyone else up!

Now that’s the kind of surprise every parent needs now and then.

Reading with a vengeance…

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Holly got Sam a new book today, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He got the book about 3:30pm this afternoon and basically read non-stop until a little after 8pm. In those 4-1/2 hours he tore through almost 200 pages. Instead of Holly or I reading to him tonight, he sat down with his book while I got some time to read mine. We both sat on his bed and read until Holly came in to say goodnight after reading to Evan. We had to tell him to put the book down with about 20 pages to go.

Guess who’s getting up early tomorrow?

Found this while cleaning…

Sam 2nd Bday

Amazing what a person can find when doing a little cleaning. I found an old camera while cleaning my office and took a quick peak at the CF card inside. I’ll post a couple more later this week.

The best present this year…

I have to say this was my favorite present this year. Not because it’s a Lego Santa Yoda (because that’s cool enough alone). But because Sam gave this to me from his heart. He got this on one of his advent days, but remembered how cool I thought it was. So he decided to give it to me instead for Christmas. Gifts from the heart will just about trump anything. Thanks Sam!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Evan tried to open the truck door with his face.  He didn’t do a very good job.
