No More Monkeys in the Bed.....

I think we might have a neon Vacancy sign flashing over our bed. Logan is finally sleeping peacefully in his own bed. I actually think he prefers it. We were laughing last night as we watched him stretch and roll around in his crib. However, this morning around 5am Kylie wakes up and says she wants to go to Mama's bed. I'm trying to send psychic messages to Eric---don't bring her in here, do not bring her in here. Then I see them coming around the corner. At least he pretended to look apologetic as he dumped her in the bed and went back to sleep. She is a smart cookie.....goes right to sleep. I let her get nice and groggy and then put her back in her bed. The goal is to have them sleeping in their own rooms at night, maybe by the time they go to college right?

The thing I'm enjoying right now is that Kylie seems to like classical music. We have a couple of soft classical cds that I put on at night before she goes to sleep. Now she asks for them. I hope she has some sort of interest in music someday. I'm not going to push it but if she (or Logan) is interested, I will certainly support it! I remember my dad listening to classical cds and telling us which ones were his favorites. I liked marching band so that I could go to the sporting events but my love was in the symphonic band. I enjoyed knowing the stories behind some of the pieces. My favorite piece to this day is Caccia and Chorale by Clifton Williams.

It is a high school band, so you will hear some bumps and squeaks along the way....

It is a beautiful day today. I'm waiting for nap time to be over so that we can get out and enjoy it. That's the great thing about living in Atlanta. It can be winter one day and spring the next. I think I'm going to go to the park and let Kylie kick the soccer ball around a little. She starts soccertots in the spring. It is going to be a Kylie/Daddy activity. I know they both will enjoy the time together. He is the first person she asks for each morning. She thinks he drives a trash truck for a living....which is hilarious. Every morning she asks if da da went to work in his truck. I say yes Daddy is at work...she then replies Dada at work in trash truck? I just say yes. I wonder if she will be disappointed someday that he isn't a trashman?
