Kids can sleep anywhere!

It's been a really long time since Ben just went to sleep wherever he was sitting, but last night was the best one yet.


At 6:30, he decided he was done his dinner, turned, put his head on my lap, and went to sleep. Just like that.

That'll teach him for refusing a nap. He's been refusing a lot lately. Grrrrrr...

Potty training is going well - he will now tell us when he has to go. He still has the odd accident in a day, but he's getting it! Yay! I wasn't sure this day would ever come. Now my friend Michelle won't disown me!

What else about Ben? (I feel like I haven't posted about him lately.) He loves Cars (the movie) and we have to watch it at least once a day. Ben usually asks to watch it more, but it's so long (almost 2 hours) that I talk him out of it. He also loves the "building toys" that Santa brought him (the link takes you to the one he actually got, and he also got the Black Dragon) and the Word Whammer from Grandma Joan and Grandpa Bill (he can spell C-A-T no problem and loves to make up lots of words too).

And Ella? Well, I don't want to talk about her - I'm still trying to forgive her for not letting me go to bed at 11:00 last night, but instead keeping me up until 3:00. If she wasn't so cute, I'd hold a grudge.
