Friday Forget-Me-Nots

Yes, I know it's Saturday, but here's what I want to remember from yesterday:

Tonight was the first night that ReRe slept in his big boy bed. As soon as he saw it, he wanted to spend the rest of the day there, and demanded that all his downstairs toys be brought up to this new elevated, plush play area. He did wake up at 4am, and I went in and cuddled with him, but he kept demanding apple juice, so I went and got him a small cup of it, and then he went right back to sleep until 7am.

Red monkey has replaced red teddy as the companion of choice, which is fine with me since red monkey has much more personality.

ReRe has started making up songs, and they all start with "one, two, three..." anf end with "Hey!" For example, his song about red monkey goes, "One, two, three....MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY MONKEY, HEY!" And his song about his father's car goes "One, two, three....Oh G! Oh G! Oh G! Hey!"

And one family event of note: Friday night we went out for the first dinner that I can honestly say was paid for by my consulting work, since I did some volunteer work for a non-profit and they thanked me with a restaurant gift card. I had never been to Montana's before, but being able to doodle with crayons while waiting for your food was a lot of fun. And it turns out I can draw tank engines upside down.
