Of Course It Would Happen This Way

I guess all it took to have Sean sleep really well at night was posting on here about how he doesn't sleep at all. Last night was amazing for Sean. I got to have 2.5 hours of sleep in a row. It felt great. Unfortunately, I then spent the next 3 hours awake dealing with an almost 2 year old who is teething and absolutely miserable. Of course it would happen this way.

I have the feeling that Ryan is definitely hitting those terrible twos. I can tell that he is going to be very challenging for the next little while. Sometimes he's the sweetest little boy. He's always kissing the baby and concerned when Sean cries. But then there are the other times that we almost wonder if Ryan is deaf because he doesn't listen or won't stop throwing things.

Today if the rain holds off we'll be going to a BN Organization Day for Pat's work. It would be so nice to let Ryan burn up some of his energy and for me to get out of the house. Cross your fingers for okay weather. I'm hoping that this weekend I'll get some photos to post on here so keep checking back.

I Can Barely See Straight

I always thought that maybe our second child would be more subdued and relaxed than Ryan was. In the first few days of his life, I thought that Sean might be an easy baby. However, I'm now realizing that Sean does not sleep at night....like hardly at all...that is unless I'm holding him. If I try to lay in bed, the longest stretch I can get is about 25 minutes. I am so tired that I can barely see straight.

I really do hope to get back to blogging and posting photos very soon, but I'm hoping sleep comes first.

CPT Ryan

This morning I was nursing Sean while Pat was making the guest room bed for Marie's visit. I could hear Ryan getting into things in the kitchen, but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt until I heard him causing real trouble. A minute later Ryan came out the kitchen wearing Pat's beret. I called for Pat to come quickly and look, and he was able to capture this photo. Ryan is definitely a cute Captain!
