Must run in the family...

Yesterday Noah and I were playing outside. I went to check on him after he went around the corner of the house and didn't come back. I found him lying down in the dog run talking to himself. I watched him for about 5 minutes before he noticed me. I think he and Savanna must be wired with some type of puppy gene.

Back to School

For some reason I thought I could be super woman and go to school while taking care of a brand new baby and a two year old. I must be crazy. So the scene in our house tonight looked like this: While Mike was dealing with Noah, who did NOT want to go to bed, I was was trying to manuever a crying baby with one hand and my textbook with the other, (as it is, I am typing this one handed) to prepare for a quiz that was due by 9:00. I was getting pretty stressed because it was the first time I had even had a chance to open my book. But my dear husband was so kind to come take Brynley from me after getting Noah settled in. He took her for a drive to calm her down and give me a chance to get my work done. What a great guy. I think I'll keep him.

When Noah doesn't get attention....

This is what happens:

He finds a nice pile of ashes to play in. Ahhhh.... the joys of having a two year old!

Sleep

As I was trying to decide what to blog about, all I could think was, "I really want to go to sleep." So that is what I am blogging about. Sleep. Or my lack of it. Brynley sleeps an average of three hours during the night before she wakes us up. Unless we let her sleep in our bed, then she can go for 4-5 hours. But then I don't sleep. I wake up every time she moves. Not to mention that Noah's room is directly above ours and this old house doesn't have great insulation, so if he rolls over, or worse, falls out of bed, I hear that as well. Oh, and Noah refuses to take naps. But... in the mornings Noah comes downstairs to our room and gives Brynley and me kisses before he climbs in bed with us to snuggle. That's probably the best part of my day.
