Ketchup Day

Today's post will help you catch up on some of our day to day activities. (Now that you've read the first sentence, my post title seems clever, doesn't it? Fine, fine... just smile and nod, okay?)

Since P and I won't be here next week for his class Thanksgiving party, I sent some yummy goodness to school in the form of a turkey cake on Monday. (Just to be clear, it was a yellow cake with chocolate icing that was shaped like a turkey, not a cake actually made of turkey.) I realized Monday night that I didn't take any pictures of the cake for you guys to see, so I snapped one of the turkey's face, because we hadn't eaten that yet. (It is gone now - only a few feathers are left - but we've been munching on it since P brought the leftovers home from school on Monday.)


Monday P was also introduced to his new teacher's aide, Ms. Tamra. Miss Tiffany was asked to move to the four year old class downstairs. P's really enjoying his new teacher, and he still loves school.

A few weeks ago, we made a change in C's room. We converted his crib into a double bed!


I haven't taken tons of pictures of the whole room yet, because it's definitely a work in progress right now. C will probably be getting some bedding for Christmas or his birthday.

The first few days he did really well at bedtime, but spent several of his naps sleeping on the floor. Just in the last few days, he's needed, ahem, some encouragement to sleep in his bed. He gets out of bed after we tuck him in. He knocks on the door. We go to the closed door and say, "Get back in your bed, C," in a very calm voice, and hear him get back in bed... for about five minutes. This cycle continues for up to an hour, but it was the shortest it's been since it started last night, so hopefully he'll be back to his champion sleeping self soon!

I tried to get C to pose sleeping in his "big boy" bed so you could see it, but he was sure I was actually trying to make him go to bed in the middle of the evening, so I gave up on that. I did take pictures of both boys in his bed though (they love to play in each others' beds together!).

The boys read some books.

C was more than happy to have a picture taken while he was awake!


Daddy A did succeed in getting him to lay down with his eyes open.


Good night!
