Sick, Real Beds, and Complete Sentences

I hope this is Jack's last cold of the season. I think this one makes 5 for the winter. That's a lot of runny nose if you figure that each cold lasts 10-14 days. And now, when Jack gets sick, three days later Emma does too!

Well, at least when you're sick you get to watch videos! This was my boy this evening watching is favorite video, "Petting Farm". I thought he was cute sitting there in a daze with his balloon by his side.


I think about half of Jack's brain is occupied with things solely from this video.



In other news, Emma is finally sleeping in a real crib! She has been in a pac n play up until this point. (The second kid never has it as cushy as the first.) On Saturday Jack transitioned to sleeping in a "big boy bed" and bequeathed his much-loved crib to Emma Kate. He's taken to it well. Today for his nap he slept for 2 hours, got up, cried for some juice, played for an hour, and then fell back asleep for another hour. I'm not sure what to expect with this new bed thing. Some moms have said their kid stopped napping altogether when they made the transition. Lord help me, but my kid needs a nap.




One other update, Jack's vocabulary is skyrocketing. He's putting together very short sentences now. Today he said something like "Jack eat banana." (We've also noticed he loves to talk about himself. For those of you who know me well you'll agree with me that he gets that from his father).
