Today Cap'n S has a pretty good day. It started out kind of rough tho! He woke up p'ed off at the world. Breakfast was a war. But he made it to preschool on time :) His teachers said he had a good day. He's been doing really well :) He's gotta work on drinking from a big boy cup tho'! He didn't really wanna drink too much today at preschool. When he got home, though, holy smokes!! He guzzled his tang :) He's been trying to take more and more steps. Mommy taught him how to write on the window in the condensation last week, so he had to do that first thing when he got home. Mommy had been making chicken soup :) He didn't' have a huge nap either today. However, at dinner, the little stinker ate 2 whole pieces of pizza in like 10 minutes :) He was a starvin' marvin. If I didn't know why he's still skinny, I'd think he had a tape worm or something :) We watched more Baby Signing Time again. He's getting so good. He is getting to be a signing fool :) So there. That's our update for today :)

I love little surprises!

For those of you that haven't checked out the Baby Signing Time DVD collection, I highly suggest it. Well, me and S have been watching disc 1 at night at least twice a week. Generally we watch it on the days that Daddy's at school. It's just me and the Bug. Tonight, Daddy stayed home from school tonight, but we watched it anyways. We started watching disc 2 and we going over the articles of clothing. He was doing really well making mommy do the signs :) Then we got to 'hat' He did it with no problem. It was like he knew it already. I asked him to show mommy the sign for hat and he got a huge smile and showed me with NO prompting!! I LOVE it :)

Lately, I've been making a more concentrated effort to bring back the basics! We've been so blessed and I need to acknowledge that. I want my son to know the reason we're so blessed. I've been making a better effort to bless our food at every meal. Not just dinner. It makes me so happy when I place Bugga's food in front of him and he automatically folds his arms. :) When we have family meeting and family prayer/scripture study, he's doing so well. He LOVES when it's time to pray. He's being more attentive when we study scriptures. It warms my heart.

Just had to share :)

Oh my goodness! It's been a busy week! S has been doing fabulously :) He did not go to preschool Tuesday. He was a very sleepy boy and didn't get up until about 9am. He's still be struggling with sleeping, but Mommy has been trying some new things and it seems to be working. Daddy had been giving him his melatonin with his bottle at night. I decided to try something new. I have been giving him his melatonin in a big boy yogurt about 1/2 hour before bed time. He's going to bed with a full belly and some helpful stuff. He's been actually sleeping through the night. He's been waking up around 8-8:30 instead of the normal 530-6am. It makes for a much happier Bugga :) He does so much better when he's had some sleep. He's still struggling with naps, but hey! One sleepy time at a time :)

Thursday Preschool went well :) He's making so much progress! He's still taking a few steps around the house and at preschool. He's such a musically inclined little boy. When they do "music time" at school, his teachers say he just lights up. I love singing with him. It's so wonderful. If he's cranky, music 99.99% of the time will calm his down. I use songs to help with everything we do-whether it be getting dressed or taking a bath. If we make it into a song, he tends to pay more attention and is more inclined to repeat the actions. He will try to sing with us. He's just so blasted cute :)
