For the first time since Megan was born, we had a completely UNINTURRUPTED night of sleep!! Normally, even if Megan doesn’t wake up to eat until 4 or 5AM, she wakes up a few times and we have to put the pacifier back in her mouth. Last night we didn't have to get up at all! We woke up at 5:30AM w/the alarm and didn’t hear from her until 6AM!!
I’m praying that it’s not a fluke. Please let this period of getting no sleep be over… Ryan and I need it for our sanity.

Butterscotch
As a reward system to re-enforce potty training, William gets a dum-dums lollipop if he goes all day without an accident. The motivation seems to be working. He enjoys his treat on the drive home from school.
Yesterday he got a butterscotch lollipop. He asked what the flavor was and repeated the name a few times, but ten or so minutes later he must have drooled on himself because he said that he had “spidercrotch” on his neck. Ha ha ha.
You can see for yourself at the Dum-Dums website, "spidercrotch" is not an official flavor: http://www.dumdumpops.com/
Early To Bed
All this week, William has asked to go to bed after dinner. (between 6:30PM & 7PM). The night he asked at 6:30, we asked him to play until at least 7PM. He did and at 7PM, we asked if he still wanted to go to bed and he said “yes”.
We talked to William's teachers at daycare to see if he’s skipping naps. They say that he’s napping well, but he’s been playing with the bigger kids and playing really hard. I guess he won’t stop running. I suppose it’s ok for him to go to bed early, but it’s just odd.. I’ve never heard of a 3 year old asking to go to bed. Let's hope he's not getting sick!

The Greatest Show on Earth
This groundhog's day marked William's very first trip to the Circus! We went with our friends Dylan and Tiffany. It was a very entertaining show - I'd definitely recommend it to anyone with kids. But watch out for the concessions! We purchased a bag of cotton candy for $12!!!! ONE BAG! And the guy who sat behind us bought a snow cone for $15!!!!! CRAZY! I guess it's what to expect for a day out with circus folk... (small hands).
Anyway, William's favorite part was when the top clown/acrobat guy climbed up this really tall pole. He and a female acrobat swayed up there while performing death-defying feats - and it ended with them sliding down the poles upside-down. I think William really thought they were going to hit the ground. Of course, they stopped themselves inches before the bottom.
Personally, I like the tigers because... well.. big kitties! Although, they all looked pretty irritated to be in the show - they sure are beautiful animals.

Yummy.... peas
Megan has gone through her fruits and has now started veggies. She did well last week with Sweet Potato, but now is onto Peas! Yummy.

Look who's sitting up!
At almost six months, Megan is starting to sit up on her own!
She still needs a little back support, and she doesn't stay up for long before she starts to sway, but it's a start! William likes to see her fall down (and from the looks of it, she likes to see William fall too!!).

Happy Birthday William!!!
This past January 26th, William celebrated his 3rd birthday! Oh boy, did we have a lot of fun.
The weekend started with the arrival of Grandma and Grandpa Cunningham, shortly followed by Grandma and Grandpa Geibel. Since William wanted to invite friends from daycare to his birthday this year, Ryan and I decided to host a party at the Gymboree.
They Gymboree was a great time. We had the place to ourselves and a facilitator was there to help us get all the children involved in fun activities. She was very energetic. We played for about an hour, and then spent thirty minutes eating cake and ice-cream. When we got home, we opened all of William's presents. This year, he made out like a bandit!
At the end of the day, we were all exhausted (including Megan!). All in all, there were about 10 friends that helped us celebrate William's birthday. I'm so glad everyone could make it. We all had a lot of fun.
