blanket update
i know you are all following this story waiting desperately to know what the outcome is! :) ok maybe not... still i thought it deserved an update.
honestly we were ready to cave and give his blankets back... but i'm glad we didn't! this little guy slept through both nap time yesterday and all last night with out his blankets and with no evidence of anything being sucked on in his bed. yay! it is taking him a little longer to fall asleep but even that is already improving. We're very proud of him!
Hooray for J! stay tuned for other riveting 2 year old triumphs! :)

the blanket obsession
some kids suck their thumbs, some have a pacifier... some shove half a disgusting crocheted blanket in their mouth to fall asleep... not ideal... not that portable... and it stinks to high heaven!
so recent middle of the night wake ups involving a 2 year old requesting a different (not sopping wet) blanket is where we've decided enough is enough. yes we are nervous... it is very close to "go time" with baby #2... so probably not the best time to be taking what helps him fall back asleep away.
Last night we said goodbye to the blankets and daddy took them outside (to be hidden in the garage). J decided that the chickens ate them. At bed time we tucked him in blanket free and gave him a bear instead, there was a melt down about a half hour in, but he did manage to fall asleep on his own after an hour or so.
this morning his little bear was sopping wet. ohh boy... is this a battle worth fighting?

misc happenings
it has been a while but here's an update finally!
my last house project before i went into nesting retirement (at least the power tools edition) our closet is now nicely organized and painted :) and J thinks the bottom shelf is his :)
in order to carry out our plans to get goats this spring, we need to move our garden to the parking strip. in order for that to be feasible we need for there not to be an aphid infested tree 10 feet away from the new garden spot. so... my hard working husband cut it down. (to the dismay of many of our emotionally invested neighbors)
for the time being this is what's left... A + J = "heart"
J riding his dino with his birthday polar bear from uncle joe and aunt ashley :) yes the bear is wearing a red diaper... he's not fully housebroken yet.
i recently completed the freezer stocking phase of nesting... now i'm just trying to be in the "enjoy being J's mom" phase.
J chillin' with his peeps... or trying to... the chickens scatter when he goes in the coop.
ok so i might have played a little prank... i'm at home all day with a 2 year old... i told him this was his baby brother
speaking of at home all day with a 2 year old:
what a helper! he tried to fix his mess...
and i am always finding things in places he has deemed the "perfect spot" for them
crayon
snotty tissue
while i was prepping dinner one night J said, "mama, I find pink" and sure enough he had collected every shade!
proud little guy!
on daddy's tall bike
Jordan made a dutch apple pie! um yum! delicious!
as far as baby news goes... as of yesterday this little guy is officially at term (37 weeks) so yay! whenever you're ready little man. maybe the next time i post the co-star will have arrived.

J: ohh... poor daddy
