My son is the greatest. Not only does he now say some colors (blue and orange) but he is digging the nighttime routine. I'm proud of it because I came up with it (this is Bryan writing this, BTW). After dinner we wash our hands then head to the sun room. In the sun room is our hammock and we sit there playing with finger puppets and reading Richard Scary books ("big books" Sydney calls them). When he is done with the hammock we brush our teeth together and then head to the changing table to put on pajamas. Then we will read a book on his couch if it seems necessary and I put him in the crib before too long. Tonight the whole process took about 35-40 minutes and he didn't make a peep after I left his room.
The reason this is so great is that five days ago he cried himself to sleep from 8 until 8:30 or later. We started this routine the next night and he has been in bed before 8pm almost every single night... Tonight he went down at 7:40 with no fuss at all! I love my son, he has been trained well by his Mom and knows how to follow a routine.
As for Michelle and I, we are ready for a baby to be born. I'm ready for school to be done (3 weeks and two days) and hoping to hear from TCAPS soon for an interview. I will keep all posted on the details, but as it stands we plan to move back to TC in mid-July. Love all...now for some Sydney pics...
