Remington~ The Last Couple Months

Ok, I know its been a while (over 2 months to be exact) since my last blog post but since Ross has been working from home, and our USB internet device broke thanks to our crazy toddler, my time on the internet has been limited to my phone. Luckily tonight, since Ross is practicing, I am able to get a little time on the computer.

Since my last post, we have completely gotten rid of the paci! YAY! Honestly, I thought it was going to be extremely hard for him to give it up, but I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! A few weeks ago we decided that the only way to go would be to take it away and never look back. So earlier in the day, after he had his nap, we sat down and had a talk with him. Since "Being a Big Boy" is the latest thing, we proceeded to explain to him that he is a Big Boy now and that Big Boys don't need Paci's. And since Noah and Cana (his cousins) don't use paci's, then he certainly didn't need one either if he wanted to be a big kid like them. It seemed to somewhat work while talking to him except for him occasionally rebelliously saying "I not a big boy" just to be silly. So later that night we executed and refused to back down! HE WAS HYSTERICAL! And since he did not want to stay in his bed, Ross laid ON him for basically 2 hours. And our VERY strong willed boy kicked and yelled and tried everything in the book to get free for a good hour and a half, but finally he surrendered to Daddy for he knew he had lost the battle! He attempted to complain and fight going to sleep the next few times, but after a few minutes each time, he knew he was not getting anywhere with that and since then, bedtimes are back to normal. The only thing that I miss way more than him is the extra COUPLE of hours of sleep in the morning. He has always slept in until at least 8:30, and sometimes until 10:30, but since that Paci is gone, he is up sometime between 7 and 8. I know what you other mommies are thinking, but I am definitely not a morning person, so this is going to take some getting used to for me!

Also something worth blogging about, Last night before we took Remington to play at the park, we walked to the convenient store to grab drinks and while there Remington pointed out a cop car. Instead of saying "Cop Car" or "Police Car" however, he said "Look, a Fire Car." :) Laughing, we thought about it, and why wouldn't it be called a Fire Car. Fire Trucks are big trucks with lights on them, so it is only logical that cars with lights on them are Fire Cars! Thanks for reminding me to blog about this Ross! :)

His obsession with the movie Cars continues, and has probably become a full on addiction!

Our baby boy is growing into quite the animated little boy! :)
