Brooke is harassing Wrigley. Hugging her and yelling in her face.
Brooke: Wrigley has boogers in her nose
Mom:I dont think so Brooke
Brooke: Let me check
She then proceeds to grab the dogs nose and look up her nostrils. Dog is obviously thrilled.

Eating My Words
About 10 days ago I posted about the trouble I was having with Ryan at night and how there is no way he would be moving into his room at the same point Brooke did ... which would be next weekend.
Obviously, the little guy knows how to read, read my blog, and decided to make me look bad.
Last Saturday night I went out with my sister. When I left, both kids were asleep. Ryan fell asleep around 7:30 and I told Jeff (as I walked out the door) that Ryan would be up around 10 or 10:30 to eat. I checked in at 10:30 and he was still sleeping. I checked in at 11:30 and he was still sleeping. I walked in the door at 12:30 to Jeff changing his diaper as he explained the little guy had just finished eating. He slept for 4.5 hours ... more then he generally does (straight) in a night. I'll admit, I was a little ticked. I figured Ryan just did his "long" period of sleep and was going to be up all night and since I was out so late I was going to be royally screwed.
Nope! He slept until about 6 am. His best night of sleep ever!
In fact, Ryan now officially sleeps through the night. Not only that, he appears to be on a natural schedule. He takes 4 naps a day, one of them (maybe 2) long and the rest about 45 minutes. He sleeps through the night every night (knock on wood) only getting up once to eat. His schedule is really quite predictable and now we are rushing this weekend to get his room ready for the big move. WOW!
Here is a pretty typical schedule he has been following this week:
Wake for the day at 6:30AM
Eat 7:00AM
Nap 1 8:30-9:15
Eat 10-10:30
Nap 2 11:30-1PM
Eat 1-1:30
Nap 3 3-4PM
Eat 4:30PM
Nap 6-6:30/645
Eat 8PM
Asleep by 8:45PM
Wake to eat 3:00-3:30AM, asleep by 3:30-4:00AM
Ryan, I officially apologize for knocking you on the interwebz and suggesting you were not a good sleeper. You are a great sleeper and I thank you for all of the wonderful nights of rest you have given me this week.

Potty Training ... Elmo?
We have been doing a little more potty training with Brooke. Not a whole lot, because she is extremely stubborn and pushing her against her will not get any of us anywhere. The bathroom now has a box of "presents" that are rewards for going in the potty. She has gotten one present so far and is jonesing for more.
She recently is pretty against going in the potty, but still wants these presents. Today she decided that Elmo had to go potty. So she took him in and was there for a while. When she came out she had a present in her hand and Elmo was "holding it". She told me that Elmo went pee-pee in the potty and that he should "open a present for Brookie".
She sure is a little stinker.
(And no, Elmo was not allowed to open a present for her)

Can't Stand The Excitement
His sister has been yelling "GO BEARS" all morning, but then indicating that she wants Dora The Explorer, and no football, on the television when she gets up from nap ;)
True fans.
