Bed Wetter

Ian and Michael were lying in his bed after Michael's nap.  Finally they decided it was time to get out of bed.  Michael then told Ian that he would have to change his clothes.  Ian asked why and the reply was "because I am wet."  He had peed while he was sleeping.  A little later I asked him if he knew he was peeing or if he was asleep.  He said he knew.  So I asked why he didn't go to the bathroom.  The reply was "because I was just soooo tired!"   So, I guess in a three-year-old's mind it is better to wet your bed than get up and go to the bathroom when you are sleeping. 

We got to play outside in the snow today for a little.  Ian and Michael were out for a couple hours.  Ryan and I joined them for the sledding.  Not sure if Ryan liked it as he never really cracked a smile outside, but he did protest when I brought him back into the house. 

Ryan Walks!

Today, Ryan took a few steps by himself!  He has been able to stand for a few seconds for the past week or so, but today he stood and then walked about 2 or 3 steps.  He was able to repeat it several times as well.  But he never got more than a few steps.  Looking back though, Michael did the same thing on 5/17/2009 and didn't really start to take off with walking until mid-July.  So, since Ryan seems to be following suit, I'm not expecting much more until mid-March. 

Our Travelers

We traveled to Florida the 3rd through the 9th.   Both kids were good travelers and both too interested in what was going on to sleep on the plane (or some days of our vacation).  We went to Lion Country Safari and saw all sorts of interesting animals and even fed giraffes!  We were able to play outside and visited the children's museum.  Michael took to Jake this trip and wanted to play with him and always wanted his attention.  The kids had a sleepover at Nanny's house one night as well.  Michael slept well that night, but poor Jake couldn't sleep since he kept slipping off the bed.  Michael's favorite part of the trip was playing football with everyone outside.  His quotes were "this team is over"  meaning "this game is over" and Ryan just had fun cruising around.
