5 Weeks

Spring has sprung!

What a delight to have this quaint barn at the end of our cul-de-sac. I mean seriously, how many neighborhoods have red barns that house a family of goats?? My kids love it!McKenna with her friend Natalie! McKenna loves having "big girls" to play with. Today she just had to wear her flip flops because Natalie was wearing hers.

This is huge people!!

Huge!

Will fell asleep at 10pm and at 2:23am I woke up and jumped out of bed to make sure he was still breathing. He has NEVER slept that long.

Of course I ruined it when I shook him to make sure he was okay. I wonder how long he would have lasted if I hadn't ruined it??

The sun is shining.

Friends are coming to play.

I got to talk to my sister.

I feel reasonably well rested for the first time in awhile. The baby acne actually looks a little better today (trust me...that picture in the previous post doesn't do it justice. It's awful. It just looks like it hurts. All over his face, on his ears, in his hair. Oh I hate it, but I think it's getting better...just a bit).

It's going to be a great day.

The Binkie and the Boy

Guess what two things McKenna loves the most in this world??? Her binkie and her boy.

Unfortunately last week when McKenna decided that she was going to stop napping and stop using the potty all the sudden letting her have her binkie didn't seem so bad. I think we dealt with the bathroom issue pretty swiftly and hopefully that little regression is over. I had to get tough on her and there were tears for a few days, but good heavens...we were NOT going back to diapers. The nap issue is a different story. I just don't think I'm going to be able to get a nap out of her every day, so I'm trying for 3 times a week (just to keep my sanity) and that's when I pull out my awesome parenting skills and bribe her to get in bed with her binkie!

McKenna is always miserable when she wakes up from a nap but I've learned that she adores that little brother of hers and will wake up rather pleasantly if I let her snuggle with him for awhile. It's so sweet. She loves to touch his soft face. She still can't get over the fact that he doesn't like having a binkie :)

The Jury's Still Out

He's not so sure about this whole little brother thing.

It's all just so exhausting.
