Sweet comfort

As many of you know T is not known for sleeping a lot. He stopped taking naps at about 21 months unless we run him ragged (which only happens when I wake him up early and make him run everywhere in the sun). His nights are not consistent either...sometimes sleeping 12 hours, sometimes only 9! I am very blessed that when I put him in his room he stays there but because of that, if he isnt tired he makes a mess of his room! I will find books everywhere, clothes all over the floor, crayon on the walls, etc. Last night he didnt want to go to sleep when I put him in bed and I told him that I wanted him to stay in bed. He got frustrated and said his animals were taking up too much room so he had to throw them off his bed...which he did. Later I heard him talking about "camping out." When I went to check on him he had found a new place to sleep...

The Heber Creeper

My family took a little trip on the Heber Creeper. T and all his cousins loved it! The adults enjoyed it too... T had a bit of an issue with the horn the first few times because we were right in front behind the engine but once he got used to it he couldnt wait to hear it again! It really was beautiful and scenic. He had reminded us of the big train many times in the past few weeks!

Bees Game

Last week we got some free tickets for a Bee's game through the hospital and they also gave us 15$ worth of food vouchers (plus it was 70's night so concessions was 70's prices)! T enjoyed the time we were there and I know J enjoyed being able to share his love of baseball with his son.

A short update...

During our recent trip to NY we went

to visit T's uncle at his firehouse. (And

yes, T is on the verge of tears with the

jacket on...it was HEAVY!!!)

We go to "This is the Place Park" a lot since it is right around the corner from us. T loves the trains, the petting zoo, and the pony rides!

HIRED!

Today I took T to the zoo. We go so often that the simple act of going to the zoo isnt a big deal, but today something very VERY special happened. T was accompanied by his good little neighbor friend "I". For the first time T didnt want to be held or sit in the stroller, he just wanted to run around the zoo with his friend the whole time we were there! It was awesome! But to top it all off...my child, who does not take naps...TOOK A NAP! Apparently his friend ran him so ragged that he just had to take a nap--a 2 hour one! I am so eternally grateful to our little friend "I" ! He is HIRED!!!!!

The latest adventure

We took the little guy swimming last week and he absolutely loved it. He has alwasy loved the water and lately bathtime has become a bit of a battle trying to keep the water in the tub--so we promised him we would take him to the pool where he could splash all he wants!

Not a thrill seeker...

We have learned that apparently T is not a thrill seeker. Because we live on the east bench we have to go down a decent sized hill to go grocery shopping. I have been wanting to get this on camera for a long time an I finally got it. I was alone so it isnt very good because I was more concerned with driving. He hates this hill. Im a terribly mean mommy but we think its funny.
