As the title of this post suggests, I am trying to maintain some sanity. Right now, hubby is trying to put our little bundle of screams to bed. Bedtime is such a chore. Usually he falls asleep on the way back from our nightly swim or some late evening errand. Hubs thinks it is time that little man figure out how to do the sleep thing without a car. I agree but I hate hearing him yell.

I remember a time in the not so distant past where all we had to do was lay him down in the middle of our bed and within 10 minutes, he would be out. I have no clue how things progressed to him hating bedtime. You know, he no longer takes naps, either. I guess he is growing up.

Wait, that can't be right. I am 30 and I would love a good nap! Just wait til he is a teenager. He will be begging to sleep in and we will make him get up to mow the lawn.

Ah, the crying has stopped. Seriously. It started when I began this post and within minutes, it has stopped.

So the day was super eventful. Just as I was working myself up into a paranoia about "oh there might be something wrong with my kid-he won't talk and acts super introverted", a gigantic breakthrough!!! I come home from work and am greeted by D on daddy's shoulders, staring at me through the window. This is my favorite because he leaps into my arms for kisses.

He kisses me on the nose and says, 'nose'! Then he was saying something about lemons and milkshakes. What the hell????? Why do kids let you work your self up to the crazy point before they will do what you want them to do???

My parents have told me a zillion times that your kid will play you. They got their little fingers on your buttons. D is too smart for his own good. He even tried to give the mailman a cookie.

We worked on Valentine's Day cards today. We got his colors and stickers out today and decorated things. He made a wonderful little picture, very Jackson Pollock. Hubs and I agree that he is a genius and joked that we should sell his stuff on ebay! Wouldn't that be funny if it went viral that I was selling my two-year-old's drawings and someone bought it! College fund!!!

Speaking of VD, I met a woman last night at this fund raiser thing hubs and I went to and she makes homemade caramels. I guess they are the super soft kind and she makes them special order for VD. They sound lovely and we can't wait to try them!
