Tough Love/ Sleepy Babies

I have been working with Hope to sleep through the night again (derailed at 6 months with the 4 new teeth). It has been 5 nights and we are slowly getting there. The first night she cried for 1hr 15min, the second night it was 30 min, the third nighth she had a revival and cried off an on ALL night (which I finally gave-in to bc my heart was breaking at 4am), and last night she only woke up bc Al was screaming off and on all night (isnt that so typical).
Sooo, of course Al woke up on and off all night and didnt go to bed until (10pm), not that I didnt put him to bed, but he was awake in bed until then, so he got minimal sleep and today was his first day of daycare/pre-school! And at pre-school they sleep on cots, which he has never done, so of course he only took a 45 min nap and he is exhausted. Beau said he looked so sad on the car ride home...I am working right now, so I had to get a second hand report.
In conclusion, we are looking forward to getting a FULL nights sleep again at the Reinberg Loft.

Happy Birthday 2 Albert

Happy birthday to my baby boy. He is totally adorable these days and I can't get enough of his dramatic sayings..."really icky, humongous! (this he said today while looking up at our building.. Out of nowhere. He must have gotten that word from Sesame Street), really hot, really tired". And everything is said with extra enthusiasm..."mommy lay!!!, basketball shoot!!!,mommy sit down!".
Tonight we took his new tricycle for a cruise around the block and he really got the hang of pedaling!

And a woman saw us and thought we looked "really hot" and gave us a Popsicle from the box she was bringing to her friend; random, I know. I probably shouldn't take candy from strangers and give it to my son, but she seemed normal and the Popsicle was tasty.

Risqué and Risk Management

Winnie and Al took their friendship to another level today..





Not to worry, all events did not go unsupervised.

After all of this fun Al proceeded to somehow drop his training potty on his toe so hard that he now has a black and blue nail; grandma had to give his some serious special attention. And when I got home from work tonight Al was laying on the couch under a blanket with his passi and blankie (which under normal circumstances are not allowed out of his bed). Come to find out that after bath he ran out without getting completely dried off, took the corner out of our bedroom at record speed, feet flew out from under him, landed on his head and he PASSED OUT! Beau said he panicked for a second before Al came to! This poor child.

Friend for the weekend

Ashlee came to visit us this weekend and met Hope for the first time... She also got her first experiences waking up at the crack of dawn after going to bed at 1am. Going out just doesn't seem so appealing anymore....especially when you have to wake up to the unbelievable tantrums Al was throwing this morning. Needless to say we are all exhausted and I can't wait to go to bed! Pray that Hope sleeps through the night! Ahhh!


We indulged ourselves in some delicious fried chicken today at the church picnic. They have a fire truck there every year and Al thinks it is super cool.
