Halloween is coming up and I got Reagan a monkey costume. When it arrived she was asleep so I opened it and when she woke up I told her Halloween is coming up and she is going to be a monkey. She looked at me and said "No, kitty". I guess she really wanted to be a kitty. She wouldn't try it on for a couple of days until Brian forced it on her. So a few days later, Brian was telling her about trick or treating and told her that she had to put her costume on and knock on the doors and say trick or treat and she would get candy. So they practiced, instead of saying trick or treat she said "want chocolate". I think she learned that phrase from Terra. So the next morning at about 7:30 she came into my bedroom and said to me " mom get up get costume." I went into her room and she wanted her costume on. I got it down for not realizing exactly what she was wanting. After I got it down she says to me " put on get chocolate. " So she did and I went to get her chocolate and she looks at me out of the corner of her eyes and say trick or treat? I went back to Brian and told him what he has started. Since then she has done it several times.
I hope and think possibly that I may be starting to get a handle on some things. I took Jaxon to the doctor yesterday and hopefully we got him on something that will make him feel a little better. At the Doc he weighed 11lbs 4 oz and was 24.5 inches long. He has grown 3 inches since he was born. He is going to be tall. We are working on getting him to sleep in his own crib but he seems to like it so much better next to me. I don't though. He snores really loud. Maybe I can trick him into it with warming his bed and whatever else I can think of.
Great Things:
1. epidurals
2. sleeping babies
3. A husband who takes the kids
4. relatively long baths
