AGAIN?!?!


Jacob has the cootie bug again!! I am so bummed! This makes three times already this fall. Poor guy! He had a little runny nose last night and then was up basically all night complaining that his "nose is stuck". And then this morning it was just a goopy mess! I feel so bad for him. We were suppose to go apple picking on Friday but I suppose that is out of the question. Our family Halloween party is Saturday and I doubt he will be better by then. Brad offered to stay home with Jacob while Logan and I go so at least we'll have fun:) I told Jake that Logan would collect his "treats" for him as long as he is good for daddy. Poor guy, I know he would have LOVED it!

We have been having sleeping issues with Jake for some time now. He, still at 2 years old, needs mommy or daddy to lay with him to fall asleep. Now that he is 2 1/2 I think he should be able to fall asleep on his own. So today is day 1 and I used the Super Nanny tactic. I put him in his bed and every time he got up I would go in there and lay him back down. He kept getting up and looking out the window, or reading his books and I even caught him trying to climb up on his headboard. Finally after only 40 minutes, I went in there and he was ASLEEP!! With NO crying! I expected at least an hour for the first day. So we'll see how it goes tonight! I know Brad is excited that he possibly won't have to lay with him in there anymore (sometimes it takes up to an hour).

So that's that. It's a gross, yucky day and I am going to go clean:)
