So I have two celebs in my family

Numero Uno: Michael Jackson...Nice glove. Now we just have to teach him the moonwalk.


Numero Dos: Cinderella.
I needed some help getting my grout clean and Audrey happily offered to help. I know the excitement of cleaning won't last for too long, so take advantage while you can. Below is Audrey scrubbing the floor and the final two pictures show the progress she made with the grout. I almost didn't post the before and after shots because then you would see how dirty our floor has gotten...oh well. Audrey did a great job. Thanks Cinderella.



Before-GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!

After: YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Binky Lover

Okay, so I have an binky lover. I was so grateful when he was a baby that he took the binky so well. However, the drawback to a binky baby is taking it away. (I still choose a binky baby) Drew has been without his binky during the day since around 18 months old....but he still gets it at nap and at bed. Since Gavin has been born, Drew has become more attached to them. During non sleeping hours, he will either go find his own binkies or try to steal Gavins' when we are not paying attention. Here is a picture of the two boys...>Drew is trying to peer pressure Gavin into his binky addiction. Brotherly love. Drew is not sleeping, but the flash kept making him close his eyes.

Monkeying Around

So I have a monkey on my hands. A couple of weeks ago Drew realized that he CAN climb out of his crib. Right before Gavin was born, he did it once or twice, but we let him know he can't do that and he seemed to listen...UNTIL NOW..my efforts were thwarted. So he was still doing a good job sleeping at night and at nap time, he would just climb out when he was done. However, on Monday he decided since he can get out at the end of his nap, why not do it before he even went to sleep. Well, I was busy cooking dinner and decided to just leave him locked in his room for "quiet time." He was quiet, but very sneaky. This is what his room looked like after "quiet time." UGH!!!





So the very next day, I went and bought a crib tent. I know, I know, why not just put him in a big boy bed. I am just worried about the above situation happening over and over each day. Also, the day without the nap=very cranky child. So I opted for sanity. After I got the crib tent home, it didn't fit on my kind of crib. I was ticked. However, Tami lent me a crib that it would work on. So I was going to have Andrew put that together but he came up with his own plan..see below


I came home from girls night to find that Andrew had put the tent on the bed. It worked okay. However for nap time today, Drew opted for the crib without the tent. I think Andrew needs to set up the other crib so we can use this device as intended. Anyway, we will see how this ends up playing out.
