Chris has been much more cooperative when it comes to nap and bedtime. For a while, he would refuse to take a nap unless I was in his room taking a nap with him. Now, I can get through the naptime routine and leave him in his room to fall asleep on his own, and he won't get up even when Max is screaming (happy or sad screaming). It's been very nice t have naptime back again.

I am grateful for The Office and the TBS reruns of previous seasons on Tuesday nights. I love that show.

I am grateful that we could stay inside today when the weather was so bitter cold, but more importantly I am grateful that the kids were relatively good even though we didn't get out of the house.

Chris makes me laugh every day. Today, he was spinning for about 30 seconds. He stopped and said, "Mom, what is our house doing?"

I'm glad that I called and found out how to stop the monthly $12 service charge on our checking account.
