Headcase and bed

Ryan has not slept in the big boy bed yet. The first night, I tried to put him in there he had a fit. So it was back to the crib. Now I've been asking him where he wants to sleep and he picks the crib - well he picks the bed for 20 seconds and then picks the crib. His new favorite thing to do is climb in and out of the crib and play. Today he hit his face on the crib while climbing out - maybe that taught him something (but I doubt it). So we're betting it's something that he'll do for Daddy and not me - fine. I think we are going to have to take the crib out of his room for it to stick. So maybe this weekend.

Because Ryan and I both have colds that are quickly becoming sinus infections, we haven't been around any of our friends all week. So we've mostly stuck to shopping and infecting people we don't know. Today we traveled to the ritzy mall (the one with the Brookstone) that is 30 minutes away. We didn't buy a single thing except for lunch. I couldn't believe it - of course I'm having trouble this year getting into the Christmas shop for other people mode. I keep looking for myself! Anyway, in walking away from me at the mall, Ryan decided to climb the stairs after I said no and tripped and hit his head on the stair. It was bleeding pretty badly but stopped quickly. Now he has a band-aid - but unlike other toddlers he does not think this is cool!! Amazingly he hit the other eye than normal (where he has about 5 times already).

I've also been working hard at home. I think this was probably my most productive week in this house yet. Kris probably won't notice much because it's all little stuff that I just hadn't finished. But I did move the office around, a task that I've been prepping for for weeks. He has to move the new filing cabinet in and we have to babyproof and we'll be all set to let Ryan roam in here too. Gates down!
