Almost Wordless Wednesday

Nicole had her first sleepover last Friday. It is her BFF Tennessee from Utah. They are 2 weeks apart with Colie being older. We loved having you Tenn.

In other news Jaxon had a doctors appt. this morning and low and behold he has a double ear infection. Poor lil guy but he has medicine now and he is on his way to feeling better. This is his first EI and he is now over 12 months old. Yahoo!!

Monday.......

I really need to get off my rump and update this thing more often.......I will try I promise!

This past weekend we had a sleep over at the house. Tennessee (Tyrone's Daughter) came down to visit from Utah!! She is 2 weeks younger than Colie, they have been best friends since birth :) !!

WE had a blast I will post some pictures soon. I think the girls stayed up til 11pm and then sat. morning we got up and took them to Going Banana's!!!

Jaxon has a bad cold and just did not have a fun weekend at all. :( I sure hope he has a better week.

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Try This Tuesday

Getting Nicole to sleep in her own bed.

Nicole is not much into stickers so that would not work as a reward system. So I had to stretch out to find what would actually work for her. What we have found was M&M's. Our SLP has suggested making a reward poster. Staple or tape an empty M&M wrapper on the reward poster and draw on it label it _ _ reward poster. Ours says Nite Nite reward. Then along the side I put you can do it. The I started by giving her 2 M&M's the first night and told her if she stayed in her bed all night then she could have 2 more M's in the morning. Well guess what it worked. I then told her if she slept in her bed all week then Friday she would get a very special reward. Well that worked too. She was able to pick out the toy of her choice....she picked the Thomas the train book. :)

So I would say find something your child is into and reward it before they go to bed so they know they will for sure get it the next morning if they follow through and actually sleep in their bed all night long.

Here is a picture of Nicole and her Nite Nite reward poster.

Monday rolls around again

This is a finger crossing Monday. I hopefully get the news tomorrow that my hours will be changed and for the better. There is a meeting tonight and hopefully it will be discussed. *fingers crossed*

We had a great weekend. Saturday we got up early and went plant shopping with daddy and gaga, and neighbor Christina! We bought a few neat plants, we are starting to make the yard pretty. Thanks to Christina, I want to this to be my new obsession. We also went to HD and got a matching bush for the front flower bed. It is a Chinese Privet. The names of the other are slipping me right now. After Art's plant sale we took the munchins to Going Bananas. This was Lauren's first time and I think she liked it. We will just have to get her there more often. My two of course had a ball. The rest of the day was spent eating at Red Robbin and toy shopping at Toys R Us for Jaxon's big birthday party coming up!!! 1 Already.....................yes were does the time go????

Sunday Daddy was off and we had our usual weekend breakfast together and then worked in the yard. I am really enjoying being outside and I know the kids are too. Hopefully by Jaxon's party we can have the front looking real nice.

I will try to get a couple pictures up later today!
