Morning with Max

Last night was Easton's first night (in awhile) completely without the pacifier. I thought I'd give it a whirl. It went really well. He pretty much went right to sleep and stayed asleep, I heard him fuss briefly at 6:45 or so and then he went back to sleep all on his own till sometime after 8! He just went down for his nap without it too. I'm excited. My goal was to have him off of it by 18 months and we're 6 days away from that. Wow, weaning and now no paci. He's growing up!

This morning we headed down to Max and Susannah's 'hood for breakfast at Le Peep's. We sat outside and the boys did a little coloring. Both of them ended up coloring on the table. Oops! Here is Easton's masterpiece:

It would come off if we rubbed it so we weren't too worried. After breakfast we went to a big park nearby with a walking trail that followed along Clear Creek. SO pretty, and today is nice and overcast so it was perfect. We walked a ways and then headed to the playground. Max wanted to run around but Easton played. He went on all the "big kid" equipment. There was this one tube slide that was so tall I'd help him in it and then I'd climb back down and the slide was so long that I'd beat E to the bottom! Susannah and I could hear him (but obviously couldn't see him) in the tube making his way down. He loved it. He wanted to go again and again but without having to climb up. Eventually that made him mad so he had to sit in his stroller since he was having a fit. It started to sprinkle then too so we were able to just call it a day.

It was a chore keeping E awake in the car on the way home but I managed. He was SO very mad at me, though. I feel bad but I always get over it quickly. Tee hee! Now that he's down for his nap I'm hoping he's worn out from playing that he'll take a good one. Never know with that boy.

Anyway...I guess that's all from me! Catch you later!
