Well, we're done anticipating the deployment. Jared is gone, and we're on day 5 here at the house. He's "stuck" in Hawaii for a couple more days before he heads to Japan. So far, I'm doing pretty well. Really no difference that when he's "home" so far. The only difference is now he's in Hawaii going out for nice dinners, and I'm here with my two boys eating leftovers. I wouldn't trade places with him for anything though! :-)
Three of the five days that Jared's been gone, Aidan has refused naps. Not a good start to this doing everything by myself thing! On the brighter side, he's been MUCH easier to put to bed at night!
Well, Austin joined Aidan in the "My mom let me fall off the bed club" today. I'm a horrible mom, and I let him nap in our bed. I had him surrounded by pillows, but he woke up and scooted and scooted until he scooted right off the bed and on to the floor. I don't have any idea how he landed, but he cried and cried. He's fine now; I think it just scared him. The doctor said, This thing happens all the time!" (uh yeah, I know - It happened to my older son too!). I felt terrible, and I feel so grateful that he is ok. Of course I cried with him, and then Aidan told me, "It's ok, Mommy. You don't have to cry." :-)
Well, I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to wrap this up. A few quick notes...
Austin is finally enjoying cereal. I am giving him oatmeal cereal because he doesn't like the rice. He's doing a great job with it. Today he pushed up on his arms and started moving his knees trying to reach a toy. I can't believe we're so close to him crawling!
Aidan is getting much better at dressing himself. He still doesn't like to put his shirt on by himself ("It's too dangerous!"), but he's great at his pants, socks, and shoes. His favorite movie right now is "Two Dogs" (aka Lady and the Tramp).
Good night!
