Date Night

Dearest Gifts~

Ahhhh .... everyone slept in to 7:30am this morning.  Of course, everyone also managed to crawl into our bed at some point in the night.  :-P

You two fought over a book this morning .... I guess sharing is still a new concept in this house.

Joshua, you're starting to answer yes/no questions, though it's not always clear if you fully understand them.  For example, if one were to ask you, 'Joshua, it's late .... do you want to go to bed?' you would likely answer 'no' which I believe since you like to fight naps and bedtime.  However, if one were to ask you, 'Joshua, do you have a sister?' you would also answer 'no' which we all know to be false .... in fact, you're about to have two so you'd better get use to it!  ;-)

At snack time Joshua did really well.  He ate his applesauce!  Grace, you on the other hand, refused everything.  However, once we went to Target for groceries, you sure ate the cookies!  You both had two cookies while there.  Grace, you fell asleep in the van on the drive home and stayed napping once home. 

Today was the first day of football season.  UNC played Elon.  We watched some of it as Grace napped and Joshua played.  We won .... errr, we 'crushed' Elon .... 62-0.  ;-)

We made chicken nuggets and fries for lunch.  Grace, you slept through lunch even though we tried to wake you.  We ran some laundry and then you woke at 1:30pm.  You ate 'lunch' at 1:50pm.  :-P

Joshua, if you make a poopy diaper you will now say 'dirty' and point to your bottom.  You won't sit on the potty yet but that's a start.

Oh, and little man, you never napped!  You were hyper and grumpy by 3:40pm but won't go down. 

Mimi and Grandpa Mike came over around 5:15pm.  Daddy and I went out for a 'date night' while you all played.  We went to Raleighwood and had dinner and saw the movie 'The Avengers.'  Our last date night was back in March.  You all had dinner at Andy's Burgers, played some Dora games, and you both had a bath.  Daddy and I were home around 8:30pm.  We got everyone ready for bed.

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
