Transitions

We are still working with BabyP on sleeping in his big boy bed.  The transition didn't go so well after the storms.  He starts to go to sleep, but he will startle himself and run out screaming for momma.  I think he really thinks I am going to leave him.  I wonder if it is because I often leave before he gets up in the morning.

Last night he woke up at 4:30 and stayed awake.  I realized I was not going to get him back to sleep around 5, so I just up with him.  I don't know what to do because it seems like everything I do ends up being a GIANT fight.  It has been taking me about a half an hour to wrestle him to sleep at night.  Threatening the crib works a little, but he knows he can get out of the crib.

The thing is, I know that his schedule will be all messed up next week when we are gone again.  sigh... sometime, I will get some sleep.

At the bright side, he is still cuddly and sweet.  No one loves me more than him.  No one wants to be with him more than he does.  I was kissing his face tonight and he closed his eyes, smiled contently and relaxed himself enough to sleep.

Peanut has been awesome lately.  I have really enjoyed having her around.  She is being really helpful and funny.  I call her my little Sprite because she is always bouncing around with a smile on her face. She is getting ready for recital the Friday after we come back.  She is taking the dancing pretty seriously.  She practices her steps in the kitchen.

We took the training wheels off her bike today.  I only let go for about 5 seconds, but those were a really great five seconds that made everyone proud.
