A Total Knock Out
Joshua is doing the cutest things lately. The other day I was w
atching the news as dinner was in the oven and we were waiting for Shawn to arrive. We had played most of the day outside, and Joshua was evidently tired. As I was holding Caleb, I was stroking Joshua's hair and telling him what a good boy he had been. When I heard the oven buzzer and Daddy's car pulling in, I said to Joshua "time for dinner!" I didn't realize that the Bean had fallen asleep...STANDING! His legs kept buckling underneath him, but he was fast asleep with his head leaning on the couch. So sweet!

On Sunday he was fighting us on taking his nap. It was long past due, 
but he treasures every second he can spend with "Da-da!" Finally, Shawn and I were unwinding in our family room, and Joshua was playing with Daddy's cordless screwdriver (Shawn had taken the bit out of it so it would be safe). We kept hearing the sound of it going so we kept talking away. Pretty soon we both looked down and realized Joshua had fallen asleep with his finger on the trigger. Shawn gently got the tool out of his hand and laid him down to sleep.

Joshua
has started taking random things with him to bed. He never goes to sleep without his blankey. Ever. Ever since we went to the hospital to have Caleb, he also takes with him the tiny puppy Nonie got him one of the times he was in the hospital and the Hush puppy Aunt Missy bought him...twice (he loved up the first one so much that it got a hole and beans started coming out). Now, he's adding to that collection his Crocs and...his yellow construction hat. ???? Silly Bean!

Meanwhile, Caleb is sleeping like a champ. He's waking up every 4-5 hours to eat,
which has us awake for a little over an hour with diaper changes, etc. But, I'll take it! That means that in the average night I'm only waking up twice. And, he's doing pretty well in the pack-n-play (although last night at 3 am I finally brought him to bed with us. Soon enough we'll be comfortable enough to move him into the crib that's been waiting for him. But, for now, having him in our room has been really nice for me.

This
past week Joshua has been getting up at the crack of dawn (literally) to come into our room and make sure Daddy hasn't left yet for work. I usually take him back to bed, which he willingly goes to. However, the second Daddy's feet hit the floor (around 6ish), Joshua is up and ready to start the day. He used to cry when Daddy left, but now he says "bye-bye!" and goes about his day. Shawn is really good to include him in his morning routine. They have really bonded, and I think that's great. I do, however, think it's time to look into something to block out the sunlight that shines directly through his blinds and valance into his room, making 5 am seem like noon.
