Last Nap of the Summer

Everyone who knows me is aware of my VEHEMENT dislike of kids sleeping in the bed with me.  But I caved a couple of times this summer for Samuel's naptime.  While it wasn't the best sleep for me, he really seemed to enjoy it and I did enjoy the snuggles that came with it.  

So here you go.  It's documented that I gave in.  :-)

Playing at the Park with Pop

The week before school started, Samuel and I spent a few days in Hope with Mom and Dad for Dad's birthday.  Dad took a day off work and took us to the park to play! It had been years since I went down to Fair Park, but the parks department has it looking really good.  

Samuel had a blast!

He even convinced 6'3" Pop to go down the slide. :-)

The High School tennis team was practicing that morning, so Samuel wanted to watch for a minute.

Bye Bye Pacifier

I've been avoiding this post because I was afraid I'd jinx it, but we've been pacifier free for 1 month now.  

It was one of the hardest parenting thing I've ever done.  He was heartbroken, which meant so was I.  

I know that with our next kiddo, I won't wait quite so long.
