Success

"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded." _Ralph Waldo Emerson_

BIG BOY BED

Isaiah's contemplative face in the bathtub just before the BIG MOVE!



This month (April) we made the big switch. Isaiah is now officially a "big boy," as assumed by the statement that he now has a "big boy" bed. I am so proud of him and how incredibly well he has done with it. He slept the whole first night without so much as a peep until the morning when he causually walked out of his room and opened the door to our room and said, "mommy sleeping?" Even nap times have gone on without a hitch. The only difficult night was night number 2, he had to learn the concept of not getting back out of bed, but ever since then he's been a champ. Just when we get to the door, he calls out from his bed, "nigh nigh mommy (or daddy)." First night of books in the new bed. Bedtime remains my FAVORITE time of the day. I love reading books and enjoying the few moments of cuddle time that he will afford me. His favorite books right now are, Are You My Mother?, any and all Curious George books (but he has George and the Dump Truck memorized...I am serious....stop at any word in the sentance and he will fill in the blank), If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

First Night! Ahhhhh.....how cute! How he did not wake up when I took this pic is a miracle.

Snuggle time at night with Jacob is still my favorite time, too!

So cute! I check your blog all the time to see if new stuff is up, and I get so excited to read new stories or see cute pictures of your precious boy! He's sooo handsome by the way :-)
I put pillows down on the ground every night just in case Tyler falls out...paranoid, I know ;-)
