Babies Are Easy (sort of)

Jerry likes to tell us babies are easy. I tend to agree. Easy in the aspect that they don't sass and sit still. Not so easy in the sleep schedule. Overall, the whole household is doing well.

Yesterday we loaded up the truck to head to Mark and Meagan's for football and birthday celebrations (Happy Birthday once again Mark and Pete). I forgot how much "stuff" babies require. I seriously think of myself as a minimalist compared to others when it comes to baby stuff (I am the mom that never has snacks or sanitary stuff other than wipes) but I still felt like we packed everything but the kitchen sink. It was nice to see Jess and Jerry come with half their condo too. She confirmed she felt the same way.

Considering Miller didn't have a nap and started out with a very rough morning he did well. He was the typical 3 year old boy who needed to be on the move all day but didn't get sassy and didn't get into trouble. He shared his toys and we were able to leave before a meltdown began. As for Mason, well, he slept 99% of the time there so he was also well behaved.

Miller crashed in the car before we got home and took a nice "late" 2 hour nap. It was tough to get him to bed at an early hour but hopefully he has a good day today. Mason was a grumpistilskin last night. After Ryan finally got him down we had a nice 5 hour stint for sleep. Unfortunately, I had to get up and pump during it and then couldn't go back to sleep (waiting for him to wake up). If we could take that 5 hour stint and align it with different hours it would be heaven on earth. Hopefully he will slowly adjust so we can get a schedule in this house.
