Great Field Trip

Christian went with his class to Wildlife Prairie Park. He told us all about it this morning, making his little sister jealous. He told us about the snakes, bison, deer and more. He also mentioned some of the lucky kids getting souvenirs because their parents were there. I hate when stuff like that happens. I didn't give Christian any extra cash because I assumed the school would prefer it that way. Next year, Huts and I are going to try to take the day off and be chaperones on the kids' field trips, just to see what happens. Minus this little incident, Christian had a fabulous time!

Dazed and Confused

At night all the doors are closed to the kids rooms so the cats don't wake them up. About 10:30 last night we heard a door close down the hall. It was Christian, he didn't respond to us when we called his name, but appeared in our door. We repeatedly asked if something was wrong to no response, asked if he was sick to no response, asked if he wanted to sleep in our bed to no response. Eventually we got a slight nod out of him that he wanted to sleep in our bed. So he crawled in and I went to sleep in his bed.

Around 3 am Eli decided to pull his nightly escape routine to our bed. He got into our bed with his Mama and his brother. This left no room for his Mama. So as soon as he went to sleep, she got into Eli's bed. About 20 minutes later he woke up and headed back to his bed where he tossed and turned until he got some cold medicine to help him breath and fell asleep.

Christian woke this morning not knowing how he ended up in our bed or why he came to our room. This is the 2nd case of sleep walking where he doesn't remember how he got somewhere. Last time he ended up sleeping in Tori's bed with her until we found him in there. We may have to attach a bell to the door to wake him up when he starts sleep walking in the future.

Living Lean

Unlike his sister, Christian gave up a lot for the yard sale, too much. He has since missed some of what he gave up and recovered it. Silly boy! I knew he wasn't ready to give up his Transformers. He loves those things. I also knew he would miss his light sabers and swords and make him keep those, which he has played with a million times since. Where is the happy medium? Eventually he will figure it out.

New Shelf

Christian got a new shelf for his Legos. He had so many we were running out of room for them. He now has a lot more more room for them and his Transformers, which he seems to be back into. Who knew? He likes the bigger ones that are easier to transform.
