Hanging around

Every day we must find time to play Connor's favorite game--"Dropping things."

 

Rules of the game are as follows:

 

Connor stands at the top of the stairs with all of his "soft friends."

 

Mommy, Matt, or any other lucky appointed house guest must stand at the bottom of the stairs.

 

Connor begins launching each "soft friend" over the railing and watches it crash to the ground.

 

When all "friends" reach the bottom, the person at the bottom must collect all the items and launch them back up to Connor.

 

Then repeat.

 

 

We load his bed nightly with all of his "soft friends."

 

We've been "sleep training" the last week...aka weaning Connor off of his need to have Mommy hang around in his room until he falls asleep.  Our nights have consisted of many trips up and down the stairs in the dark, but we are inching closer to longer stretches of independent sleep.  Amen.

 

We made a trip to Target yesterday to browse through their fun Halloween section & when we left, we noticed a full length rainbow.  I'm not a giant rainbow gazing fan, but it was pretty neat to see one go all the way across the sky.  It was kinda funny to look across the Target parking lot to see so many people stop and stare at the sky.

 



 

After Target, we got home to find Matt home from work.  We taught Connor the art of saying, "Excuse me" every time he wanted to interrupt our conversation.  It was pretty cute and made his interruptions a little more bearable :).

 

 

Off to pick up the Peanut from school soon!

Happy Tuesday!
