So I spoke with DS1 about this Pokémon app! Now I want it too! Lol! Apparently it's not officially released in Canada yet (I guess someone created an Australian account for him to get his...Um okay? ). I think the app would be fun for him and I to compete on! Plus will be good to have destinations for walks with M!

What a freaking busy weekend!
Running into flakey friend was....ok. Her fiancé asked DH if I was mad. DH made a slow burn about how they live 10 mins away and haven't met DS2 and he's almost 1. DH also made a comment about reaching out or something. I had a wicked hangover.
On Sat, we did DS2's birthday even though it's technically today. He had a great day. He was so excited about his Thomas train cake. He loved all his presents. When you asked him what age he was, he kept saying he was an old man. No idea where he got that.
Everyone has finally left. I should clean it I'm eating frosting out of the can and laying in bed.
skinandbones enjoy the down time. I'm glad your H said something to flaky friend's fiance.
This roof top pool is awesome. Guess who's inside trying to get an over tired baby to sleep? I'm sure about the time he finally falls asleep everyone will come down and wake him up.
We just came back from a birthday party. Elaine had a lot of fun but it made me realize that I really have to get organized. Her birthday is in a couple of weekends and I really have nothing organized...
redandblue that is tough. Usually if W doesn't seem to be going down for a nap after about 20 minutes (2 checks) I just call a reprieve and try again in about an hour. Sometimes that works. Hope the nap situation works itself out soon. All these nap changes are such a hassle. Big hugs lady.

ampaints that hallway you just posted on Instagram looks exactly like my old hallway. It was so eerily similar I had to do a double check that I didn't accidentally post a pic.

Our oven broke the other week. (Stove still worked.) It was just replaced, which is good, but the new one is.... much smaller. Like I'm not sure if my baking pans will fit in it. Oh well— we're month to month here now and planning on looking for a new place in the fall.

My oven is a small apartment sized oven. My largest baking pan doesn't fit and my muffin/cupcake trays have to go in crooked for them to fit. It's a real pain in the ass. I feel your pain!

It's official M is on a sleeping strike He has only slept for 30 minutes today (20 minutes in the car when dropping DS1 to work and 10 minutes at bedtime). He is SO overtired and it's so hard to watch him be so besides himself. Even when I try to rock him now he is fighting it. We even went for a walk, usually if he is at all tired a walk will knock him out (went looking for Pokémon with DS1) , and I swear he blinked twice the whole walk. He is fighting the sleep so bad and so clingy to me, seems like he didn't want to take his eyes off me. Then he was fighting even me rocking him. So I am letting him cry a bit. Why is my baby broken! FX this is a one time thing and my baby will be back tomorrow!

So I sent an email out a week ago telling family (grandparents and two aunts that are within driving distance) that E's birthday celebration would be on the 16th. It was a little less than 2 week notice. My parents had already planned to come because well the know when his birthday is and they know we usually celebrate the kids birthdays the weekend closest to their birthday.
My inlaws can't come on the 16th. My FIL already committed to something else. MIL wants to do it on Sunday instead. I say that should be fine except that my parents will be driving back but maybe we can make it work. I call my mom and we plan for them to leave a little later than normal so all grandparents can celebrate together.
I get a call from MIL today. They can't come on the 17th either. Now they are coming on the 15th which is E's actual birthday. My parents can't come until early evening on Friday. So we are doing multiple celebrations. I know this isn't the end of the world it's still annoying. My inlaw's are coming at noon on friday. My H has to work. They are leaving around 5. So unless H takes the day off (which i doubt he can) or works from home (which he's already doing tomorrow) he won't see them.
redandblue hope he's asleep by now. Could be teething pain? W is not a good sleeper so I have lots of tips. The other day I put a little lavender essential oil in a warm bath (maybe 2 drops) and let him just tucker himself out playing in the calming steam. I think it worked because he passed out but that could've been exhaustion. I'm sending all the good sleepy thoughts his way.

packmomma thankfully he did finally fall asleep around 9:30. I actually use some lavender oil on his night light. After my last post I let him complain (which is what he was doing by then, not crying or screaming but kinda yelling/complaining...like no tears) for about 5 more minutes. Then tried rocking him, and then laid with him in my bed. Even then he didn't sleep, but played with his feet and swinging his arms while quietly babbling to himself, and I sang to him and then laid quietly. Eventually he started wanting to crawl around so I put him back in his crib. He rustled around for about 10 minutes (not yelling thankfully, but I think playing with his feet) and finally passed out. He doesn't appear to be teething at the moment. His last two came in about 2 weeks ago and I can't see anything else. He didn't really seem fussy, no fever etc., just mad at being put in his crib. FX tomorrow is better. If I were a smart mommy I would have went to sleep just after he did anticipating he might have a rough night. But nope, I stayed up reading and getting lost on pinterest. Now I feel like him, overtired and not wanting to sleep! Lol
