Lego Creations and a Cutie

Whenever Jansen gets a new Lego Club magazine in the mail, he always wants to enter the building contests. I feel bad because we usually don't completely follow through and enter his creations. I'm planning on making sure it happens this time. Here's his submission for this contest:

Natalie wanted to make a car to enter as well. 

Oh I love this little nut. I love to snuggle my face in her hair and just smell her. I love to nuzzle my nose on her soft cheeks. I love to ask her questions just so I can hear her talk. She has been repeating phrases lately. Like, "Can we go in the playroom? Can we can we?" Or, "Are you going to the store mom? Are you are you?"  

Her sleeping hasn't been so great lately. I don't know how I keep getting into these bad habits. She has been waking a couple times a night and calling for me. When I go in her room I usually end up rocking her and falling asleep myself which results in a numb bottom for me. On a whim I decided to just try telling her to stop waking up at night, and that I wasn't going to rock her anymore. I tell her right before she goes to bed.  The past two nights she has slept through the night! Coincidence maybe. We will see how tonight goes.

Nice idea just telling Emmy you're not going to get up with her... now what are you going to do if she DOES wake up and calls for you? Oh man. I hope Jansen wins the contest.

I hope you get some sleep! It's no good to have to get out of bed several times a night. Sending sleeping vibes Emmy's way...

Tell the kids their creations are great! I wish I was there to "go to the playroom with Emmy". I have reputation as a great student at the playroom university.

Sammi just got over a terrible stage waking up in the night too! It was worse than having a newborn. After two months of it, she finally knocked it off though and we are all much happier. I hope yours doesn't last two months. :(
