The White House

We are still working on Quinn sleeping in his own bed.  Lately he has become pretty upset if Don takes him to bed.  \”I want mama!!!!\” But we\’re persevering.   What usually happens is one of us lies down with him until he falls asleep.  At that point, we\’re asleep too and make it back to the big bed an hour or so later.   Then an hour after that Q comes toddling in and jumps in bed with us.  It\’s been quite some time since he\’s slept a full night in his bed.  But, it\’s all good.  He\’s only 4 once.

Last night I took him to bed and crept back to the big bed around 2 am.  An hour later I shot up wide awake when I heard the gate at the top of the stairs being opened.  Sleepy boy was going the wrong way. It\’s funny how just a little sound can bring you from deep sleep to full attention.  

Here\’s our little sleepy boy this morning (in the big bed).   Those lips make my heart melt.

On Monday Quinn and I walked in to Sundance to find all of this in the auditorium.  While the little kids had a winter break last week, the big kids and teachers were busy putting together a Science Happenings.   The auditorium is full of hands on stations where the kids can do science experiments.  Quinn and his class visited today but I wasn\’t able to get any details from the kid.  Sundance continues to impress and amaze us.

We were expecting another unseasonably warm day in NJ and decided to head to the beach with some friends.  It was sunny and warmish without a single breeze in Westfield.  Once we arrived at the shore, it was about 45 degrees and very windy.  Our fun afternoon of playing in the sand was cut short.

We found a sandy spot sheltered by a building so the boys could have some fun.  After an hour and some frozen fingers we decided to head home.   A little too windy.

We are looking forward to a warmer down down at the shore.
