Weekend Update

(Even though I could never be as witty as SNL)

Camping was a success! Despite having to leave early, packing ALL of our gear (imagine a lot of gear x10 and you are maybe envisioning as much as we had) and ALL of us (um, 10 of us) in our boat to leave early due to massive rain showers (imagine 4 inches in about 20 min.) we had a marvelous time! (Shhh, don't tell the DNR!)

The best was Friday night in the tent as Ryan and I were lying as quietly as we could waiting for Olivia to fall asleep (about 10:00) and all of a sudden she starts pounding her feet on the pack & play and says "Uh-oh, the bear is coming! Hide!!" Oh we tried so hard not to laugh out loud!!!

Aidan did marvelous without his mommy too! He stayed back with Mucka and slept and ate well! And the best part? He did all that sleeping & eating and being happy all while popping through 2 little teeth! They are just above the gums so no cute teeth pics yet, but I can't wait to post them!!

AND! Last night Olivia was having a tough time falling asleep; although, not tough to her! She was having a blast laying in bed singing, playing, and pounding on the wall. I however, was not happy with it. I went in and let her know if she didn't go to sleep, I would be taking her nukie. Alas, she did not go to sleep, so I took her nukie. (I know, my consistency is amazing) SHe cried for like all of 2 min. and promptly went to sleep! So now we are in it for the long haul--NO MORE NUKIE! Well, I'm a wus, and can't really go cold turkey, so we are doing no nukie at nighttime and a choice at nap time. Olivia got to pick out a new toy at Target this morning for going the whole night with no nukie--this was what she picked. She told everyone at Target & the grocery store that she got to pick out a new toy for no nukie. It was hilarious. I bet we stopped to talk to 5 or 6 people.

Let's hope it goes smoothly tonight!
