So I thought I'd cured Cody of his fear of sleeping in his room but I guess I didn't :( Today he went to sleep at nap and bed time with no problems but the last few nights he's insisted on Daddy sitting in his room with him while he falls asleep. Eventually Mike will sneak out but if Cody isn't fully asleep he'll start whining/crying again so he'll have to start all over again. I was shocked that he went to bed fine tonight. Maybe because he had a long day and was tired? Who knows with kids.
I'm soooooo glad that in 15 minutes I'm done work and off for my weekend. Mike wants to take the kids to the theme park near us that we have a seasons pass for but it's supposed to pour so maybe not. It can be a lot of work to keep the kids happy when we're out somewhere like that, especially since they don't get to have their regular naps so I really don't want to go this time. I'll go if he really wants to and if the weather cooperates but whew, these kids exhaust me! I swear when you have two kids to watch and whose needs you are continually juggling the day can feel more like 5 days put together. This morning Cody had speech therapy, then I signed him up for floor hockey at which point he threw a fit because he wanted to play hockey with other kids RIGHT THEN. It's hard when kids don't understand how things work. I felt bad for him, especially since it doesn't start for a month lol. After nap time I took the kids to Costco and we enjoyed wandering around. Cody especially loved all the samples. Today he got some chocolate covered almonds, fruit leather, cereal, a granola bar and applesauce. I didn't buy a whole lot but that's good because we don't have a ton of storage space for huge boxes. I did get a big box of these chip/popcorn things which are called popcorners and are absolutely delicious. They're low calorie but wow I might have problems staying away from them. They're just THAT good. The box had 24 bags in flavors kettle corn, jalapeno and cheese and white cheddar. The kids and I enjoyed some on the drive home :)
I get my first back to work paycheque tomorrow! Well I should say today since it's Friday already but I tend to not think of it as being Friday until I wake up in the morning. I am excited about getting 2 full nights of sleep after tonight lol. Tonight I will probably only get a few hours and then 1.5-2 hours at nap time. I'm surprised I am able to be human after that little of sleep. Once I enroll Cody in a preschool soon I will be able to nap Miles' first nap with him as well which will be nice. I am a bit nervous about trying to put Cody in preschool when he's never been though. I found one that is 9-11:30am Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Will have to check it out soon. He's such a clingy guy I can see him absolutely freaking out when I leave so I'm not sure what they do about that. I know like 6 months ago when I did a mommy/baby exercise class with Miles, Cody cried quite a bit in the daycare there so I was glad that was only for 4 classes since I missed one and Mike watched him for one. He'll need to be separated from me next year for full day kindergarten though so let's hope he's old enough now to realize it'll be fun without me for a couple of hours.
