So, long story, but SO told me the other night that him getting up twice with the 3yo (for 15 seconds each time) was the same as me getting up 3 times to feed L (for 20-30mins a time). So I decided if that was the case, we could switch last night. He thought I was joking. I wasn't 🙂I slept in the guest room with a monitor just on C (who didn't get up once, so today he's totally my favorite kid) and SO got up with Lu. Ha. He informed me this morning that he was wrong, and he's a big dumb man. Mission accomplished. And I slept from 11-6, then dropped kids at daycare and now I'm alone until 430. This is literally the most exciting day ever.

leahks77, that's awesome! I'm glad he realized he's a big, dumb, wrong man. X was only up once (!!!) but was super grumpy as soon as he woke up. So it's 7:45am and I'm already trying to get him down for a nap.

That's hilarious. A big dumb man! They just don't get it sometimes!
We had an ok night, I had to let one wake up get cried out, sometime around 2:30. He eventually went back down. Up at 4:45 then 7. Not too awful for the night. Ryan is at daycare for the morning, I'm pumping and relaxing a little before I start cleaning and organizing a little. I have a mommy date tomorrow night, at a ceramics cafe, I'm so excited lol. Normally Friday is our date night, (hang out and watch movies and eat takeout) but lately it's been more relaxed. We still spend the time together we just aren't as religious about it. So my mom friend asked me if I wanted to go and I was so excited Dh agreed absolutely right away. I'm going to try and get a bunch done this morning because Ryan is staying home tomorrow, his daycare worker has a funeral and asked if it was ok that I didn't send him.

We had our yearly meeting to go over SS's IEP for speech therapy this morning. He is 100% proficient and no longer eligible for services! So proud of our little guy for coming so far these last few years.
DH and SS had a father/son date at a basketball game last night and had a blast. They didn't get home until just before 11pm, which is way past bedtime, but worth it to see the joy on his face and to know he got to spend some quality, baby-free time with his dad.

R woke up at 4:45 with a need to read. We spent an hour reading peek a boo farm animals and then she decided she wanted to go back to sleep at about the time we usually get up for the day. I made her stay awake until I dropped her off at daycare because I know an early morning catnap would throw off her whole day.

I love her need to read so much. I hope she took a nice long nap at daycare!

So we finally gave X one of those little A&A security blankets Monday. I figured it would take a long time before he even noticed it was there/possibly formed an attachment. He grabs it as soon as I put him in the crib now. During this nap, I've watched him wake up, roll around and find it, rub it all over his face, then go back to sleep a few times. I'm certain it's not the solution to all of my problems, but it is really cute to watch.

I'm going out of town to a concert with a girlfriend tonight. I'm excited but I'm going to miss my kids. I also get bad anxiety when going to big crowds because people these days be crazy. I bought my first pair of jeggings yesterday, LOVE them. I also don't have a shirt to wear for tonight apparently so I'm going to go shopping for one this morning.
Morning! H is at preschool and I have barre class in 1/2 hour. I'm nursing S quick and then we need to get out the door. She's tired so hopefully she does ok at the daycare today.
kellybenelly83 and mrssmith613 enjoy your lady dates!! So good for the soul. piperhalliwell way to go to your whole family! That's awesome. And nice that they had a daddy/son date rivers and roads I hope X continues with his better sleeping. You deserve it. swivelchair5 ❤❤ your little reader!! trtlcrzy I'm going through clothes today too... sad face I love when I actually have time to sit and read and respond! Yay coffee break Also, I am cleaning and listening to my Disney pandora channel and singing my brains out. Awesomeness.
He sleeps so much better with it, because has something to hold onto, suck on, rub his face. Just a comfort thing. I think he likes these because of the silk around the edges.
Eta. They're breathable. And we haven't had any issues with fraying or anything.

That is hilarious leahks77! Glad he learned his lesson.
Not much going today. My toddler was testing my patience earlier. When I put her in the car, she took her boot off. It had snow caked on the bottom. She decided to eat that snow. I told her it was dirty, and not to eat it, then put her boot back on.
I got into the car and buckled myself in only to hear her cry out that she ate dirty snow. Some must've fallen off the boot into her seat. Then she proceeded to whine and cry the whole drive to the store. Then she fought nap time hard.
On the bright side, I'm feeling better. I managed to avoid a full fledge stomach bug. After I ate dinner last night, my stomach seemed to settle.

My bank account hates you guys. But admittedly this was cheaper than I thought! Lu needs a lovey. Aka something to hold on to other than my nipple. Girl is handsy. 😕
We have a house fly problem. I have NO idea where they came from, but I finally had enough when one fly flew into my mouth today. Like right to the back of the throat. Gross.
I bought some aerosol spray to kill them. Sprayed the whole downstairs while the kids were upstairs for their naps. It seems to have worked. I came back downstairs to a fly graveyard.
leahks77 🤣 Omg that is awesome, that made my day 👏🏻👌🏻
I'm at work. Nothing too exciting going on here. I have a pretty mellow afternoon ahead of me. It's been so warm here I really want to get the kids outside but it's hard when I'm working and we get home and it's time for supper and it's dark out. Hopefully tomorrow since we'll be home, although it's supposed to rain, which will cause issues in itself. Stupid winter.
It's so crazy that so many of you are up into 18m, 24m, and 2T clothes. We're just getting into the 12 month. Still wear lots of 6-12 month from Gap and Old Navy.

The weather has been crazy today. When I took H to preschool it was bright and funny. In the hour I was home between that and leaving for the gym it got super foggy. At least it's not cold, I think it's high 30s right now.
I really needed a nap today so I forced S to nap when H was. First I nursed her and put her in the pnp. She woke up at some point so I grabbed her and snuggled her. She woke again so I flipped over and nursed her. She's still sleeping... I hope I didn't ruin sleep tonight.
