In the Toddler Bed

A couple months before Ethan arrived, we introduced Camden to his toddler bed.  He loved it!  For a whole two months.  One night when I went to check on Camden before I went to bed, I found this.
Apparently, Camden caught on to a basic life conundrum - the crossroads of growing up versus the coziness of the comfortable past.  Denied the pleasure of sleeping in his safe, secure, soothing crib, he boycotted his bed on a regular basis.  Several nights I found him on the floor.  I learned to be more careful, since one evening I bashed my poor child with the door, as I went to check on him.  But after a few nights, he discovered a more comfortable?! way to pass the night.



I'm not sure it would be worth the crick in the neck.  This kid also likes to snooze in his car seat, too, so his vertebrae must be much more forgiving than mine.







Well, he is cute!  

P.S. I think we're past this phase now.  Ninety-eight percent of the time, Camden will still be tucked in his bed, snoozing peacefully when I check on him.  But it was quite entertaining!

Smiley Boys

I took Camden to the splash park right after they came on, but it was a breezy, overcast day and a little chilly to be wet.  But it didn't seem to diminish his enjoyment of the water, just the duration.  I love this grin!

Ethan is so smiley!  He started smiling a lot right as soon as he turned 2-months old. He loves to be looked at and talked to.  So it's very convenient that I like to talk!


He's just so darn cute!  It turns out he does have a pretty happy disposition.  He withstands a good deal of  punishment, er, loving from Camden before declaring he has had enough.  As long as he gets food and sleep and attention, he is a very content and cheerful child.  Funny how that works.
