I started cleaning out our closet today. By cleaning I actually mean I hauled everything out of the closet and left it in the middle of the room. I moved all my clothes into Spencer's closet and put Nolan's bassinet in our closet. I'll be able to fit a chair in the closet so I can feed him in there in the middle of the night. Nice! It'll be awesome to be able to go to bed and read again! Nolan has been doing fairly well with going to bed. He had a hard time last night, but that was because he was hungry hungry!
Liam went and had his H1N1 and seasonal Flu booster shots today. Silly daddy forgot to bring the bear!! We all know Liam can't go anywhere without the bear! Anyway, he cried for the shots but quickly recovered. When they got home Liam came upstairs, got his bear, climbed up on my lap and promptly fell asleep!! He's NEVER done that before!! It killed me to go lay him in his bed! I wish I could have just snuggled him on the couch all afternoon!
Spencer hasn't had a nap for the past 2 days! He gets really grumpy in the evening, but I think that he might be ready to give them up once and for all. It makes me a little sad because I lose that quiet time in the afternoon that I so so so cherish. But I'm thinking I'll start enforcing some sort of quiet time rule where he has to go to his room and read for a little bit. Or play quietly. I don't want to just put him in front of the TV and leave him all afternoon. Today we coloured for a little bit, he's got such interesting things to say! It's nice when he's all alone and just starts speaking whatever is on his mind! He's so intelligent and observant!
So I managed to finish up my Christmas shopping yesterday. Maybe another few stocking stuffers for Dan and then I'm good. This year I decided that Dan was in charge of stocking stuffers for the kids. I've done 100% of the Christmas shopping for the kids for the past 3 years so I figured it was time he had a chance to do something. I have such a hard time with stockings and he thinks in a completely different way than me so I like seeing what he chooses! He always does a good job with my stocking, so I'm sure the boys are going to love whatever 'Santa' puts in theirs!
I can't wait to see the big boys on Christmas morning! I know it's been said a million times before, but there's nothing like experiencing Christmas through a child's eyes. Their joy and wonder for the season is so pure!! I love seeing them believe with their whole heart that Santa is coming! I hope we can keep them believing in Santa for a long long time!
Anyway, enough rambling! I should go get some clothes ready for work later tonight! And maybe eat some lunch!
