milestones!

TWO big things have happened in the past half hour.

number one: I ordered our first (hopefully only) double stroller! Thanks to Mom, Dad, the girls and Grandpa D for giving it to us. I'm pretty sure I'm going to use it every single day! Not to mention I've been eyeing this one for about six months. I'm so excited!!!! Hopefully, it will arrive in a week or so and I will report back how amazingly awesome its going to be! And its RED!

number two: I'm pretty sure that after an hour and me putting Gideon back in the big kid bed about four times and firmly saying, "its naptime, not play time."... he actually fell asleep in the big bed!

AHHH! Ok, I just went to confirm and its true! He is sleeping soundly and I'm very proud of myself, I mean him. :) I have to give credit to Roy on this whole ordeal because he is the KING of firmly making Gideon go to sleep... he got everything started Saturday by just suggesting Gideon take a nap and leaving him in the room. We expected Gideon would come right out and in to our room two minutes later. However, an hour passes by and Gideon finally comes in smiling. I don't know what it is but he has never attempted leaving the room after we tell him to take a nap in that bed. We must be scary parents or something... hehe. Either way, he got up and starting playing with his trucks today, but every time he heard me coming he ran back into the bed. This gives me hope that sleeping in there overnight may not be as rough as we've been expecting. I hope. I hope.

So there it is, two success stories in one day. This Friday is victorious. Thank you GOD!
