Visual Treat Day

Well, since yesterday's post was a mile long I thought I'd keep it as short as I can be for today and just put in some pictures and maybe a video or two. However, I first have to update about E's sleeping. I started getting serious with yesterday's nap. It took about an hour for him to fall asleep without me rubbing his head or anything. He didn't cry for an hour, he just stood up a lot and eventually fell asleep like this...

Last night at bedtime was a little shorter but more of the same. 45 minutes including one episode of puking. I almost wonder if he "lets" himself puke so he'll get attention. He was always refluxy so yakking comes easy to him, I guess. Then, he slept all the way until 6:30 at which point I nursed him and he went back to sleep all on his own till 8:30. Yay! We're making progress. Even more so when you consider his nap: he crashed in the car just as soon as we got in to come home from Field Day. 40 minutes sleeping in the car and then I put him in his crib. He didn't go back to sleep right away but he laid there quietly for a bit and then fell asleep. Woo hoo!

Field Day was fun enough. Easton got a tatoo on his cheek to show some American spirit. He was so tentative and quiet when we first got to the school. I don't know what was up with him. Eventually he warmed up to everyone again and had fun.

He obviously wore himself out as he's now in his 2nd hour of napping. Crazy.

Okay, just a couple more pictures to share and then I'm done for the day. This is my window garden I planted on Mother's Day...it's doing quite well. Basil, oregano, chives, parsely and something else I'm forgetting. My lavender didn't even sprout :( Darn.

Then, this is our front yard. Pretty colorful, huh?

Okay, well I'm going to leave you with this movie. It is that cheese/truck "game" Jason invented when he was E-sitting one day. They demonstrated it for us all on night 1 of The Alabamaws visit. I hadn't seen it before so that explains my annoying laughter.

Well, I guess that's all from me today. And for those of you that check, I just added a very large amount of photos to E's album. Thanks for tuning in! Sayonara!

ETA (edited to add): Oh, I forgot to put in this short silly slideshow of Easton and his grandmother being fone friends. Yes, I spelled that wrong on purpose. Click the thumbnail for the clip.
