Goodnight Kisses

We haven't been sleeping really well over here. Well, who is counting. When Kaitlyn was born, my real good sleep went out the door.

But what makes it harder to sleep is how cute Kaitlyn and Jackson have been lately. Jackson has learned to blow kisses and wave goodbye with his hand. He is just too cute. I would post a video; however, my little camera is in the shop.

Now when I lay him down in his crib, he puts his hand on his mouth to blow me kisses. He then waves goodbye as he gets cozy to go to sleep. When he waves, his whole hand is flying up and down. It really is cute. It is great that he is not fighting sleep right now either. He is showing signs of only needing one nap so we are in a little bit of a transition period right now.

Yesterday for Kaitlyn's nap time, after wrestling around in her bed and trying to fight it, Kaitlyn finally laid down and asked me to tell her a story about Captain Hook. This has become her routine before bed, always a story about Captain Hook. I think Brandon and I have run through just about every kind of story we can think of. She always wants Hook to be mean, but we show her that in the end everyone is nice and learns from their mistakes. In yesterday's story, I told her how she dreamed that she was on the beach in Neverland. She was wearing her bathing suit and building sandcastles. Captain Hook helped her and then asked her to help him count his money. Oh, the story went on, and she was totally into it. She then asked for her purse with some money in it, her bathing suit and blankie. She put them all around her arm to take with her in her dream. She finally fell asleep with them all.
