mellybrellyI'm really proud of Reagan, last night I asked her to take a shower after her breakfast was done. I knew I'd still be sleeping and Tim might be too. She said fine, and I asked if she needed to write herself a note to remind herself, since it's easy to forget and showering is not her favourite thing so it's even easier to *forget*. She said no, she'd remember. Sure enough, I woke up and heard her in the shower! It's awesome because I want to work on her following directions and doing things she may not want to do that she needs to do (without an argument, since we don't need to fight authority on everything, just the important stuff).
Also impressed with my husband who got up, did laundry, made lunch for him and Reagan, and now he's on a ladder cleaning the way over due gutters! (and now mowing!!)
Reagan also made this awesome giant frankenstein out of paper, he's hilarious, holding his brain in his hand with a sword through it. I'll hang it outside on halloween. I want her to make a bride of frankenstein too.
I had to laugh though, a while back I bought these cheap straws at Target because they had umbrellas on them. Reagan was really excited about them and has used them a few times. I didn't really pay attention. Today she came rushing into my bedroom and said "Melanie, did you know that if you take the band off the straw it's AN UMBRELLA???????". Me, "Uh, yeah, that's why I bought them". (trying not to laugh) I just presumed she knew what they were and how to work them. She said she's going to remove one and use it as a hair piece for the bride of frankenstein.
Paxton spent his morning nursing and growing and sleeping and pooping and nomming his entire fist.
I spent my morning boob feeding, sleeping and changing poopy diapers and making my baby smile.
I was SO excited when I woke up at 7:15 and thought he had slept from 2. 5 1/4 hours! After high fiving Paxton a few times I remembered he woke up at 2, but that was just for 10 minutes to nurse. He actually slept so well last night, fell asleep probably around 12:00 or so, and then I tried to twilight nurse him but he decided he wanted to wake enough to nurse off and on till 2 am. Then woke again at 3, but like I said, was quick and then slept till MORNING. I fell back asleep and he just played beside me for an hour till he woke me to nurse again.
Reagan is now supposedly going outside to pull weeds in the front walkway. I'm going to dress Paxton and myself and go join her!
