Can I just tell you how much I love this silly kid? This picture was taken when I went in to get him from his nap earlier. He had thrown everything out of his crib – except for the pillow he stole from the guest room that morning. He was standing when I walked in the room, but when I tried to pick him up he laid back down and said “night night” and giggled like crazy.

And yes, he is still in his pajamas (the top at least, he’s pretty much anti-pants whenever he can get away with it). We didn’t have the best night – or morning for that matter. He decided that he wanted to be awake from 3:30 until 4:15 and then get up at 6:45 (a good 45 minutes earlier than normal). Then while we were laying on the couch watching Blue’s Clues I thought he was going to fall back asleep.  I was wrong.  I dozed off for 10 minutes and he pulled two more keys off of my laptop keyboard.Things greatly improved after nap-time.

He took me on a date to Applebee’s for dinner tonight (I really wanted a steak). When we walked in we saw some people we knew and ended up sitting with them.  It was a really nice surprise. We came home, watched an episode of Blue’s Clues (again) and then he went right to bed. Fingers crossed he sleeps through the night.  He needs the sleep, and so do I.
