2012-03-16~Rendezvous-Date Night

Our first time painting with acrylics and my first time painting, period.

First time sleeping through the night!

Lincoln went to bed without fussing. He came to our room at 6:30 saying,
"Lincoln doi mau xanh roi Lincoln vao phong cua ba me. Lincoln ngu gioi roi mommy co present cho Lincoln?"

He climbed on our bed.
But when i got up to put carter back in the crib, he got limbed back down and waited for me by the door to walk him back to his room, which I did.
A perfect sleeping night for Lincoln!

In the morning, I gave him one of him unopened birthday presents (in a gift bag): the Cars airplane from Co Tuyết. I had him close his eyes for his "surprise". When Carter saw it, he sped to the bag scooting as fast as he could. Lincoln said, "mommy can you put em away?"

I am really hopeful that this is going to be the beginning of him feeling secure and learning how to put himself back to sleep in the middle of the night.

Lines from the movie

Q to L: you is smart. You is kind. You is important.
L: no its the gwirl. It's The Help.

Lmao
How does he remember these things?!

Playdo

Omg I heard a gulp and saw that baby
C just grabbed a ball of Playdo and bit off a chunk. Gasp!
our little secret.
I'm sure big mouth L will tell on him though.

Early morning

Both L and C woke up at 7. We hung out in bed and then played on the living room floor. C is beginning to move across the floor with his belly off the ground. Very exciting stuff!

L is on rodeo gear for his rodeo party
Painted tee
Plaid collar shirt
Handkerchief around the neck
Cowboy hat
And blue jeans!

Night time parenting

Trying to wean C odd the breast from midnight to 6am so that he can learn to sleep through the night. C is 6.5 months.

Meanwhile L is still waking up and coming to our bed to be walked back to his room.

C woke up at 2:20 and finally fell asleep around 3:30 after 2 ounces of water and a lot of holding and patting. He eventually fell asleep on our bed - after Daddy went to tend to L.

Today's Schedule:

Sleeping through the night?

L still doesn't. He woke up at 1 sitting up crying. I patted him and he immediately fell asleep.

Then at 5 he came to our room crying. He climbed on the bed and I carried him back to his room. He asked for milk which I complied. Then he tightly held onto my hand not wanting me to leave.

Carter's crying. I ask L if he hears C crying, that I'll come back after I tend to C. He doesn't like it but doesn't cry.

At 8 L runs in the room hugging Bolt and crying. I tell him to shush so C can sleep but he wails.

C wakes up crying.

To top it off, I've had coughing fits all night. It's gonna be a long morning until nap time.
