Bedtime Bellylaughs



Just last week we moved the boys into a room together. We have been trying to get Landon familiar with a toddler bed. Well, it hasn't been smooth sailing, and at times has been quite humorous! Landon loves to get out of his bed and get into bed with big brother. One night, you could hear him flipping the light on and off - over and over. Shawn took him back to his old room that has the crib. Well, I had moved it to a new spot and this spot you can reach the light switch here, also. Oops! I could here him flipping the light switch on and off so Shawn went to check on him. He found Landon wearing a lavender crocheted bonnet and was playing with the strings attached to it! Needless to say, that is how Shawn found him the next morning - wearing the hat..again!
Then, last night, they fell asleep in the Ethan's bed. I told Shawn I wanted to get a picture...so cute. Then, after the picture was taken, Shawn pulled back the covers and we burst into a fit of laughter!!! There was this monkey sitting up between Landon's legs! Hilarious!
Not so hilarious - 4:36 AM until an HOUR later could you hear the boys up and playing in their room! I tell you what, I am sure glad we are trying to get them trained now instead of when the baby shows up. Oh well, at least there is laughter in spite of all the frustration!

Are you sure you aren't talking about my boys? We are dealing with this type of thing even now! I know, I know it's not encouraging. Ryan keeps getting into bed with J&J... and there are belly-laughs every night and even after they are supposed to be asleep.
Love the monkey... that's so funny!

That is so funny. I loved the monkey picture....wow, and the early morning rising...right when you want to sleep. Oh, the joys of parenting. Such wonderful memories. Thanks for such a neat blogsite.

I love your blog! I didn't know you had one, so I'm glad to see we can keep up with each other this way. I love to see pictures and hear these funny stories about your little boys.

Melanie,
I found your blog today and I just loved seeing the pics of your family and hearing about your precious baby girl on the way! Congratulations!

Your boys are so cute - I have seen pics of them at some point or another, but they've really grown since then.

Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!

Love,
Melodie

Hey Melanie - Mom told me about your blog, but I had to have my technological genius of a sister-in-law help me find it! Loved your posts!
