Another Nick post..

He is now an official part time walker! He still gets around faster by crawling, but soon he'll be a full timer! lol

Nick and walking..

he finally took 2 steps on monday. and probably would have done more, but he saw me looking at him, grinning like an idiot, literally rolled his eyes at me, and got down.

and I wish I was kidding about the eye rolling, because sadly, I am not.

OMG...

I forgot to mention, that Cameron swears Mike took the provider bus to school. Every time he sees one, he says" Oh! There goes Daddy's little bus! He took that to school when he was a kid!" No idea why he would think Mike took the "short bus". Makes a father proud....

Keeping in touch...

Why is it so hard to keep in touch? I cant remember the last time I talked to my best high school friend, on the phone, in person, through email, on myspace. She has never met Nick, and her 2 kids hardly know me. Her oldest son is a year older than Kevin, so we should be closer! She lives about 20ish mins from here, and I never see her. She's never even been to my house, and we've been here 2 1/2 years. Foolish. I spent half a day with my best guy friend and his wife on Saturday. It was nice, we've been friends since we were 13. But it was forever since I had seen him too! The excuse is that we're too busy, but seriously, are we that busy? We do something with Mike's friend (of 20 years!), his fiance and their kids just about every weekend, but never have time for any other friends. I dont get it.

Nick and Cam...

Nick loves getting his picture taken. As long as it's not professionally. Cause you know, thats different. Anyway, if he sees a camera, he needs his picture taken. It's so cute! The other night, he was sitting with me, and Cam had the camera, he put his face on my face and said "cheese!". Thankfully we got the picture, cause it was pretty cute.

Cameron and Nick are so funny together now. Nick is at an age where Cameron thinks he's cool and they play together. I love watching them :) I'm sad that Nick is getting older, but I love that's he's becoming a little man.

Crying it out...

Never thought I'd do it to one of my precious angels, but after last night, and Nick thinking he was staying up to party tonight, it had to be done (according to Mike). He just stopped crying and I'm assuming is sleeping. I am waiting until I can go in there to cover him up safely, without waking him up.

I have to say, it was horrible. I cant stand to hear my kids upset, but this was different. He was crying, for me, or someone to save him, and no one came. He cried so much for someone to save him, it wore him out. His last thought before falling asleep, was that I didn't come. Daddy didnt come. He was alone. Upset, and no one made it better. It was all I could do not to get him. I didn't want to ruin it in the middle, but now I wish I would have just gotten him in the beginning like I wanted to. He is an awful sleeper. I wish we would have learned our lesson after the biggens, and put him to sleep awake when he was a baby. Then this never would have had to happen.

I feel so mean. I hope he doesn't remember this in the morning. :(

Cub Scout!

Last night...

was not lovely. Bed time is 8pm here. Nick didn't go to sleep until 930. I fell asleep at 10ish, and he woke us up at 1130. He was acting like his belly hurt, couldn't get comfortable, tight stomach, crying. Not good times. This went on until about 130. I tried rocking him in the rocking chair, putting the TV on to get his mind off of it, snuggling, whatever. Mike tried everything I tried, still didn't work. At 130, he must have been sooo over tired, he got way too happy. He was tickling us, wrestling, screaming in delight, standing on the bed, and purposely falling down. Until 245. When he finally went to sleep at 3. I, of course could not go to sleep. Mike fell asleep, and was snoring, so that kept me up. When I finally fell asleep, Cameron woke me up. That was at 4. Then I must have dozed off when Mikes warning alarm went off at 5. Then his second warning alarm, at 520. He decided to get up at 530, and woke me up to see if I wanted to shower with him then. I did. not. He turned the closet light on. Left it on. Turned it off after I nicely ( ;) ) asked him to. Fell asleep again, until my real alarm went off at 6. I got up, decided to get in the shower and use the conditioner I bought last night. I have 4 million bottles of shampoo, and a teeny bit of conditioner. I grab the conditioner off of the bathroom counter, and realize it is not conditioner. Shampoo. More shampoo. Good thing I have enough conditioner for one more shower, or I probably would have shaved my head right then. Nick got up at 630, and was not pleasant.

I am so not bright eyed and bushy tailed today. Oh and I have super supreme cramps today.

The brightest part of the day, Kevin always kisses and hugs me before he gets on the bus, in front of everyone. But, once he gets on the bus, he forgets that I'm standing there, waving. I have waved everyday, because someday he might look and I want to make sure he sees me waving to him. Today he looked. And waved back. He has no idea that that teeny wave was just what I needed to make all the pissiness go away. I love him.
