<\/p>\nI promised myself I wasn’t going to post until I could do a picture and\/or video post. But dang it, I’m still working on that. So here’s a quick update until I can do the really good post…<\/p>\n
– Alex has been waking up between 5:30 and 6:00 am. Sometimes he just gurgles to himself until he goes back to sleep. Sometimes he “needs” me before he’ll sleep again. It’s getting old, though. I am tired of being awake 30-45 minutes before I need to be up.<\/p>\n
– I don’t know where you stand on disciplining children. But yesterday I saw an article about a recent study that “proves even more” that spanking is horrible and results in violent children. Personally, I don’t buy it. But even funnier (and ironic), about 45 minutes after reading the article, I finally convinced my children to stay lying down so they could nap by popping them both lightly on the behind. They wouldn’t take me seriously until then. And neither have been more violent so far, though both got decent naps once they laid still! Hmmm…<\/p>\n
– Alex had a couple of days of constipation over the weekend. He filled a lot of diapers on Monday. He’s feeling much better now. <\/p>\n
– I’m very excited that Karen and I are going to a play on Friday. It’s a local high school, so it won’t be great. But it’s been a long time since I’ve seen any theatre at all. Can’t wait!<\/p>\n
– I need a new book to read. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n
Okay, enough about me. I promise a picture and\/or video post before the end of this week. Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
