The
beginning of January started off with a big change for Crew when we switched
him from his crib to his big boy bed! He
was very excited. Crew and the new baby
are going to share their room once the baby is big enough to sleep in the crib
so figured if we changed things up well in advance, it wouldn’t be as
difficult. The first night he didn’t
want to stay in it but by the second night he we head off to bed at 9:30 and
mommy told him that he had to stay in his bed and she would check on him when
daddy left for work. Each night at 9:45
when mommy went to check on him, he was out and slept in his bed all night long
without any problems. He also loves
taking the IPAD and hiding under his big boy bed. Figures no one will see him under there.
By mid-January
we were off to a SURPRISE trip to DISNEY!!!!
We left our house at 6 a.m. on a Saturday and headed to Peoria for our
flight. The boys were all very confused
and couldn’t understand what we were doing.
A little less excited as I had hoped for…not my Disney commercial
moment. Our flight was uneventful and we
rented our car and arrived at our hotel, checked in and were on our first ride
by 5 p.m. at Epcot. It was super cold (about
50 degrees) so we needed sweatshirts and jackets which made it a little less
enjoyable but by the next day we were up to the 60’s and able to have more fun
at Magic Kingdom followed by a day at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood
Studios. We had a packed schedule
including a dinner with Mickey and friends, breakfast with Lilo and Stitch and
tons and tons of rides. Crew was such a
trooper and loved seeing all the characters from afar or with daddy coming with
him. Except when it came to the scary
Star Wars Storm Troopers, which he LOVED.
He walked right up to the first one and said, “hello bad guy.” Apparently, the guy enclosed in hard plastic,
with his face covered and holding a gun is not scary at all but Mickey Mouse is
terrifying. He did really good on all
the rides but we had him ride the Dinosaur ride and that pretty much put some
fear in him (bad parenting move on our part)
He would still ride the rides but would whine that he wanted to go home
which breaks your heart. He’s a tough
kid and we got through it. All around it
was a great trip for all the boys and although Crew probably won’t remember it,
I loved seeing how happy he was seeing all the characters and experiencing all
the fun with his brothers.
The rest of January and February Crew just grew and grew. Some of his new songs include “wheels on the Bus” and “apples and Bananas”. He has really started to become super picky at that dinner table and will not sit and eat with the family but wants snacks all the time. Makes it a nightmare for all of us. At the end of February, Crew had a cold that just kept hanging on so Daddy had a cholesterol appointment and just took Crew along with him. Turns out, little boo had an ear infection. He was a trooper for having that ear issue for so long. He was weighing in at 38 pounds. So hopefully with the ear problem solved he will be happier and a better eater and sleep better
