Sidney actually sleeping in the bed was not received as well. Roger put him to bed Wednesday and Thursday night. It normally takes around 15 minutes to put Sidney to bed and now it takes 1 to 1.5 hours. Thursday morning at 3am Sidney woke up crying. I laid with him for an hour until he finally fell asleep. He slept through the night on Thursday and he was very proud of himself. I put him to bed last night and it took him an hour to go to sleep. Sidney woke up crying at 5:30am this morning and it took Roger half an hour to get Sidney to go back to sleep. Sidney doesn't get out of his bed, he just cries and cries until one of us go in his room to check on him. Roger put him down for a nap today and after a few minutes of lying with him, Sidney asked him to leave. So maybe Sidney is adjusting to the bed or maybe he was just super tired since his nap was super late today.
We took Cleo's side bed rails and put them on Sidney's bed. Cleo was excited to have them removed because it was evidence that she was a big girl and didn't need them anymore. She was concerned that her Tinker Bear could fall off the bed but I assured her that the bear would be okay. I knew the bear would be okay because every morning I find the bear safely ensconced in Cleo's arms. She keeps it too close to allow it to fall out of the bed. Tinker Bear is a Build A Bear brown teddy bear with a Tinkerbell outfit on it. Cleo just calls the bear "Bear." She won't name it.
Today we went to Cleo's classmate's, Paige's, 5th birthday at KangaZoom. It is a party center with lots of infatables for kids to jump on. Our kids love it but Cleo always ends up crying at some point because she bonks heads with one of her friend's head. This time, Cleo did not cry or get hurt. A lot of her good school pals were there so she had a lot of fun. Cleo also got her face painted with Hello Kitty's face on her right cheek. Cleo loves face painting, I think I mentioned that in a previous post. The party was 1:00-2:30pm - smack dab in the middle of their nap time. They were not too cranky. They napped when we got home - from 3:15-5:15pm.
I won a $100 Best Buy gift card in connection with a walking competition at work. I came in 3rd place. I thought I was going to come in 2nd place so I was a bit disappointed. If I came in 2nd, I was going to be able to get a Keurig single cup coffee maker. I told Cleo that if I won I would get the machine and she could make hot chocolate on it. The day the winners were announced she asked me if I won - she remembered on her own that the winners were going to be announced on Thursday, December 1. I told her I didn't win but came in 3rd place. She was very disappointed. Roger and I explained that it was okay that I didn't win this time and maybe I would win next time.
With the gift card I won I am going to get an e-reader. I suspect Best Buy sells one cup coffee makers but I would prefer an e-reader. After doing lots of research, I decided that the Nook is a better machine. But, I want to have Amazon as the materials provider, e.g., books. The Nook is linked only to Barnes & Noble and the Kindle is linked to Amazon. I tested out the machines at Target today during the kids' naps. I was leaning toward one of the basic ones (that cost $99) of either type of machine but after testing the Nook tablet and the Kindle Fire, there's no comparison - the tablet version of both machines is so much better than the $99 versions. So, I will treat myself to a $199 version and get a Kindle Fire tomorrow during the kids naps.
Tomorrow we are going to church, food shopping and then Cleo and Roger are making cookies for Santa. Santa is visiting the Wynn kids twice this year - he's coming Thursday while they're at school and then again on Dec. 24 when we are in Jacksonville, FL. The kids will open gifts when they come home from school on Dec. 22. We leave for FL the morning of Friday, Dec. 23. I have that day off from work and then the entire next week. I return to work on Tuesday, Jan. 3. I have jury duty on Jan. 4. I received the type of jury duty summons that requires me to call on Jan. 3 at 5pm to see if I need to actually go into court. I have had this type of jury summons before since living in Atlanta and I didn't have to report in person. I don't mind either way. Work is busy but jury duty will allow me time to get more familiar with my new Kindle Fire. :-)
I joined the L.A. Fitness gym on Thursday. I will start working out when we return from FL. I cannot wait. I am also going to restart doing my P90X dvds. I went to a Weight Watchers meeting on Weds., Dec. 14 and I lost .4 lbs. I have 3.4 lbs to go until I am back at the weight that allows me to attend meetings for free. Yahoo.
Have a good week.
