Sleepover

We are settling into a new bedtime routine at our house.  We have been trying to skip Travis's nap so he goes to bed at 8pm.  It's only been a few days, but so far it's working ok.  Of course we have some crying but not too bad.
There have been a couple of incidents, with the most funny happening last night.  Travis and I put Jessie to bed at 7:45.  After some talking time together, I left Travis in his room at 8:00.  By 8:30, my mommy instincts were talking to me.  I snuck upstairs to notice Jessie's light on. Travis was in her crib talking away, telling her something about how it was her choice to sleep with the light on if she wanted so she wouldn't wake up and be afraid.  She was sound asleep!  I whispered to him he had to go back to his bed and not to wake her up.  He began pleading his case in a loud whisper himself, saying he wanted a sleep over.  By the time we got back into his room, we were still whispering and then he asked, "Why are we talking like this?"
This might be a sign that they will want to share a room sometime soon! 

New Bedtime Rules

More later on this topic....a couple of stories to record as we teach Travis to stay in his bed with the door open..

Today Travis and I are going to the Chillicothe water sprinkler park to meet friends.  It is his reward for not crying at night and not getting out of bed.  He is still working on that.  This morning Jess woke around 4 am.  I shut Travis's light off at that time.  Around 5:45 am Travis called Mom Mom and got out of bed to tell me Light On!  then thankfully and surprisingly went back to bed!

Jessie words

Jessie's words as of today - about 15 months old - Dada (her favorite person), Mama, that, ba for ball, boo for book, turtle, nana, hot and I'll be watching for more.  Some words she will repeat and then we don't hear them again for a while. Like this morning, she said itch and duck after we read a book and I asked if she had an itch.

Bought big girl undies yesterday..starting potty training today or tomorrow.  Might be a bit early but going to give it a try since she shows signs. 



Going to try to get a few blogs in this month.

Salt

This afternoon when we were in the kitchen preparing lunch, I was looking for the salt. As always, I was rambling on and on about what were were making, ingredients using, etc., and so I kept saying "where is the salt"? Travis took off toward the basement, thinking he could get some salt from the water softener to use.

Kids still kinda under the weather with ear infections. Going to be another day with lots of holding.
