Blow The Snause

Wes has been sick this week, poor kid. He has been caughing, sneezing, and dripping snot rockets the past few days. Well, since his nose became a faucet, we have been wiping and cleaning his nose constantly.

However, at night, we can't sit there and clean his nose or we would never get any sleep. So we showed him how to wipe his nose when it ran. Well, this is the result. We cracked up in the morning when half a box of tissue ended up all over the place. But I guess that's better than boogs all over, kinda!

Big Boy Bed

OK,

so those of you who know, Wes is a HUGE fan of anything that moves. Planes, trains, and automobiles so to speak. Well, we could not resist when we found this on craigslist. It was perfect (we hoped.)

So we went to pick it up and brought Wes with us. When we arrived at the house to pick up the bed, he hopped out of the truck, and there sitting in the driveway was this new car bed. Needless to say, Wes saw it and ran full speed towards his new "vroom vroom!" So from that moment on, it's been dubbed the "Vroom vroom, nigh night!"

Ok, so we were still nervous about the transition from house arrest (the crib) to big boy bed (freedom to roam.) We were ready for the challenge. So the first day we had the bed, we just let him play on it. The next day at nap time, we moved the bed into the room next to the crib and gave him the choice of crib or bed. He chose the bed of course and we explained that if he did not stay in bed that he would end up in the crib. Well, it worked! First nap and he stayed in the bed the entire time, even waited for us to come and get him when he woke.

So that's it, I know, sounds too easy, but that's how it went down. And now he sleeps in his new vroom vroom nigh night all night long. We just hope it stays that way, but we'll take it!
