22 Months opps forgot to post...

Wow 2 is creeping up way too fast little man! You are a man on the move. Your favorite daily activity involves water. Playing with the hose, watering the flowers, playing with buckets of water, your little pool, the base pool, and the splash park. You love it so much that weather you understand your night time prayers or not you always remember to Thank God for Wa Wa, Mamma, and Dadda. Which I think is pretty funny. You have started to put together two words and will repeat about anything you see done or hear. Favorite two word phrases : Dadda work, Momma work and he adds home, milk please, Bro (Brody) wa wa (water) they play in the afternoon together a lot, oh and you like to say Momma, Dadda, Bry over and over again.
Sleep: Well over all you are a pretty good sleeper, 11-12 hrs at night and 2-3 hrs during the day. Until this week.....You did have tubes put in your little ears....did we traumatize you? The Dr said it went great and LOTS of junk was sucked out. So basically when you got your first ear infection at 18 mths and fought them for the last 4 mths the infection would go away but couldn't drain. So when they took you from me screaming to put you to sleep, it broke my heart. No sooner did I walk back into your room and Daddy was on the phone with the nurse and you were already asleep and surgery started. Then you were wheeled back into your room with 4 other people just praising how well you did. A nurse was riding on the bed with you and you sat in her lap and held Lion with big tears in your eyes. So back to the sleep thing....You suddenly won't go down for naps or night time anymore...without a huge fight and kid you have stamina in this department. So are you scared we won't be there when you wake up again? Lets see yesterday it took 2 hrs to get you down for nap, today 1.5 hrs. Not to mention we let you scream for more than 40 min ....UGGG So bottom line we have given up on several occasions at night and in the middle of the night bc we are too tired and you sleep just fine with us. Which normally means someone has to leave the bed, bc kid you don't stay very still and prefer to be on top of one of us when you sleep. Please child just tell us what is wrong. If it is still going on come Monday the ENT told us to bring you back in. It amazes me that you need two things to sleep, your lion and froggy, also in your bed are a blanket and taggie. What is funny is that if your are upset or want to be rocked you are standing up in your crib with all of these things in your arms and heaven for bid if we drop one or don't bring it to the rocking chair with us.
Lets pray that nothing else is wrong with your ears and this a random act of a toddler trying to get his way.....

On a side note since I forgot to post this...your ears are fine...and you are enjoying putting up a good fight for sleep or really just wanting one of us with you while you sleep.

Bryce and Daddy playing at the splash park! The ball rotating in the water was way cool.

This is just proof that Froggy and Lion are very important and that you are still very happy when you are brought into Mommy Daddy's bed no matter what time of the night! Himmmm is this the laugh of I win....
