Transition Time: Big Boy Bed

We have officially moved Deji into his big boy bed, and he has really surprised us. He stays in his bed and waits for us to come get him in the morning when he wakes up. I thought we would have a couple of days of him getting up, but he didn't really do that. We are in the process of moving the boys into the guest room and setting up their old room for the baby. I am really getting excited. Can't wait for the dynamics of our family to change.

NO NAP

Today was one of those days that I had to ask myself what I am doing having three kids. It is hard enough to be running after two energetic boys, and then we are adding one more to the equation. The boys did not nap today. They were busy talking to each other. I knew they were tired, but they fought it and eventually Ryan went and got them out of the room. I knew it was going to be a long night, especially since Ryan had practice. Deji ended up falling asleep at the dinner table. I felt bad, that I had to wake him up, but I wanted to go and see my friend get baptized tonight. I had to give Femi a spanking while there, but he behaved afterwards. He gets so silly when he is tired. He doesn't want to listen and behave. Oh well. I am proud of myself for going out in public with two very tired boys. Things are going to get more challenging, but I am blessed with two wonderful boys whom I love very much.

Zoo Time with Friends

We wanted to keep the 3rd birthday thing small. So Femi just took two friends to the Zoo. Carter and Isaac were fun to hang out with.

Femi's 3rd Birthday

Femi turned 3, June 8th. I can't believe my baby is getting so big. I decorated the dinning room and put balloons in his room while he was asleep. When he woke up and saw the balloons he said "Whoa, what is this", it was priceless. Then I had him close his eyes and come into the dinning room for his birthday breakfast. The look on his face was priceless when he opened his eyes. Alas that picture and others were erased from my camera. It was either Ryan's doing or a nice lady at the dinosaur exhibit. You see after breakfast and many pictures we went to Science city for the dinosaur exhibit (way over priced), we took pictures all throughout and at the very end a nice lady wanted to take a family picture. After she took the pictures Ryan took the camera from her and was like where are the other pictures. I honestly think that he erased the pictures by accident. See this was my new camera and he didn't know how to work it yet. I am still upset by the thought of loosing those pictures, but oh well, what am I going to do. We did get pictures at the end and with my sisters when we took him to the T-Rex restaurant at the Legends.

Back for Summer!

Okay, so I did not do so well with my New Year's Resolution, about updating the blog every week. I take full responsibility, but I do have to say that I have legit reasons. Reason number 1: Deji broke our computer. Reason number 2: I couldn't access my pictures. I think those are two solid reasons for not blogging for so long. But I am back. I will try my hardest to keep updated. There is nothing like a mid-year resolution. Get ready for some back enteries.

Power Struggle

We had the battle of wills with Femi tonight. He has been really picky with his eating lately, and then he got sick and had no appetite at all. Now that he is better he is still refusing to eat unless it is something he wants when he wants it. Well I had enough tonight and made him sit at the dinner table for about an hour until he ate his dinner. Then we were taking a bath and he kept tooting and I asked him if he needed to potty and he said no. Well about a minute later I saw turds in the bath. Can we say YUCK! I had to yank Deji out of the water, and I made Femi sit on the potty even though he kept saying he was done. I probably messed up as a parent doing that, but I really didn't care. I know that he knew better, but he chose to poop in the bath. And the other night Ryan was getting ready to put on his Jammies and he peeped on himself and Ryan. That is what babies do! So I know he knows better, but he is just testing us. And on top of it all we put him to bed at 7:45 and at 9:00 he was still up. Can we say power struggle. Well he needs to know that mommy rules the house and no two year old is going to take over.

Home Sick :(

This morning Deji woke up and started throwing up. I first thought it was just spit up with chunks, but then after having breakfast he threw up again. This was right before I left for school, so I took him up there to get a sub and make sub plans. Right before we left he started throwing up again. . We got home and he wanted to eat and I thought an egg would be easy on his tummy, but three bites into it he threw up again. I have called the doctor, but that maybe it is just a 24hour thing. Poor baby, last week was rough and now this.
