Slow Week

Make a Smilebox postcard

Not much going on this week. We found out Allen will be leaving for Japan again on March 7th but only for a week this time. Originally he was scheduled to be gone the entire first week of March which would have been a bad deal for us because that's when we have our next ultrasound of Connor's heart and Austin's pediatric gastro appointment. So we are very relieved that Allen is able to be here for both of those visits.

Austin is having a good old time with all his finger puppets and animals lately. He is really getting into dramatic play. He has a big cat that he named "toots" and a small finger puppet cat that he named "poop!" That's my boy! I love this age, toddlers are so much fun to watch and have conversations with!

Allen and I were talking again about how we really need to make sure Austin stays in his bed at night because Connor will be here before we know it. We just have to bite the bullet and do it, but it's so hard:) Austin does fine putting himself to sleep at naptime and usually takes a 2 hour nap but at night I still have to help him go to sleep and he usually wakes up at around 3 or 4 am wanting to come into bed with us. Austin refuses to let Daddy help him back to sleep when he wakes up and I've been so tired lately that we just bring him back into bed with us when he wakes up. I know what we have to do but I do so love that little body snuggling up to me and playing with my hair.

Enjoy the pictures of Austin having fun in his bubble bath! Once you click on play, click on each of the photo bubbles on the side and that picture will show up in the large center bubble.
