Oh Boy!!

On Wednesdays I get to drive straight home as that is Rich's early day and he picks up Josiah from Buela's house. So, I come in and walk upstairs to the loft where Joey is playing. I kneel down to give him a hug and then I think he's heading back over to play with his toys. Instead, he stands behind me and grabs at my waistband and says..."Mama you got poo? Noooo!" OMG...I laughed so hard. They pick up on EVERYTHING!!!

Boy...talk about a long break from blogging!

Sleep wise, this has been one long weekend for us. Josiah has been giving us a really hard time when bedtime rolls around. This has been going on for a while but we are usually able to get him down in our bed and then transfer him to his crib. Not so much anymore. Friday night Rich put Joey in his crib thinking he was still asleep but no such luck! Josiah immediately stood up and started screaming and throwing himself around. He managed to bump his chin and cut the inside of his mouth. We both panicked at the sight of his bleeding mouth thinking a tooth was loose. Luckily, it was just a bruised chin and a cut to the inside of his lip from his tooth. Not pretty but he was okay...

Unfortunately, that's not where this ends. Sunday night I had the pleasure of putting him down. This time he was awake but I thought I'd place him in his crib and let him cry it out. As soon as I turned my back to walk out I heard a loud THUMP! I turned back around to see Josiah lying on the floor next to my feet. He managed to flip himself out of his crib! I was crying, Josiah was crying, it was chaos! Once we calmed down we checked him out and he was fine. I think he scared himself more than anything. So, at 9:30 Sunday night Rich and I were lowering his crib to the lowest level. I truly don;t know what we'll do once he grows another inch or so. I think he'll still be too young to convert his crib to the toddler bed. Bedtime will really be a chore!
