Um....what was I going to do???

I know that I had two things I wanted to post about. Now that I have a minute to actually post, can I remember what it was I wanted to say?? No.

So, I figure I can throw in some slightly amusing stories from the last couple of days.

One of my closest friends got my son a Mr. Potato Head for his birthday. It was the second present he opened, and he did not have really any interest in opening any of the other gifts. I managed to peel him away from it long enough to get the other gifts open. Then, back to Mr. Potato Head.

Well, Sunday he was completely exhausted from the day before when we had the party. He BAWLED when we tried to make him put it down for bed time. I said to my husband, "just let him take it to bed. He will pass out and it won't matter." Famous last words...

He did pass out right away, but he woke up at 5:15am shouting "DADA!!!! DADA!!!! LOOK!!" Frightfully waking up to my son screaming, I shoved my husband out of bed to go and check on him. He comes back about 15 minutes later and says, "He dropped his Mr. Potato Head pieces behind the crib and he wanted them." Being the good dada that he is, he got the pieces, gave them to him and hoped he would either: a) play quietly or b) just pass out again.

Not so much. Twenty minutes later..."DADA!! DADA!! DADA!!" He had to show dada what he had made with the Mr. Potato Head pieces he picked up. He did lay in bed for a little while longer after that episode, but we were both up shortly after 6 am.

He will not go to bed with toys anymore :)

Story #2: Toddler bed 3, Nathan 0

Another mile stone for our son this past week was changing him to a toddler bed. He did exceptionally well until last night. The rail to keep him from falling out of the bed was on the foot of the bed, rather than the head of the bed. The way the bed was made, this was the only option. Of course we tried laying him the opposite way, didn't matter. He returned to laying the opposite way.

By 2:30 in the morning, I got my husband out of bed and we turned the open side of the bed to the wall so his full crib panel was facing the outside. No more falling out of the bed! Voila!

So, today Grandpa came over, drilled new holes so we could turn toddler bed side around and have the rail at the head of the bed. I am hoping he doesn't roll out tonight! We shall see...
