Growing Pains part 2!!!

There was a request from Nana that we post pictures of Eston in his Superman costume. I think she thought that I would need to amend it, with manly pictures. Sammie had her friend Salote over today and we decided to have a princess/superhero day. Every time Salote comes over we have to get out the princess dresses. So, now you can see why Eston needed his own boy costume. He was feeling left out. The other side of the costume is batman.

As for the other issue of Eston somersaulting out of his crib, we took the side off and made it into a little bed. We put the mattress that we use for Salote's naps next to him on the floor and used that to cushion his falls. The first night he cried for about 15 minutes and since he goes in and gets into his bed and just lays there. We still are trying to put both kids down at the same time once again. It was so easy before, they would go in and lay down awake and go to bed with no talking or fussing. But, since Eston's new found freedom, he just wants to go and tease her while she lays in bed. I guess everything can't be that easy. Eston is excited that he can come out on his own in the morning instead of having to wait for Matt or I.


Next battle is his pacifier. He only gets it at nap time and bed time, and gives it up every time after, but in a couple weeks we will be having him give it up all together.

Cute, cute boy. I think you should let him take his pacifier with him on his mission. I can't stand to think of him without it.
