Last night we went to the Cavs game and had tons of fun with Hayden. He sat through the whole game! I can barely do that! We took Danica to the Debaltzo’s and I was pretty nervous about it just because she is so little, but I didn’t want to take her to the game because she is so little, and anyway it of course worked out fine. Today Hayden had a friend over and then I had some friends over for lunch so it was a lot of fun. This afternoon we went for a walk and we planned to have Hayden use his new Fisher Price roller skates at the park but it started to rain so we had to come home. It’s been a fun and social day and as a result the house is still a mess but I have decided I don’t really mind because I could spend all day, every day cleaning and it wouldn’t make much difference.

The buzz around our ward is what everyone is going to do for preschool next fall because it’s registration time and such. I couldn’t decide whether to have Hayden do “real” preschool or just a simple coop like I did this year. So I looked into several programs and decided I would wait and have him do "real" preschool when he is 4. But then I just found out about a girl moving here for her husband to attend Law School. Her husband is in the Air Force and just going back to school now so she already has elementary school age children. Anyway, she is going to teach preschool at her home, just two days a week which is perfect. I talked to her on the phone for about an hour and she has an awesome program that she is currently teaching and just plans to do that again when they move here. So after much thought and prayer we have decided to sign Hayden up for her preschool. I think he will love it and Danica will enjoy a little bit of time to be in the spotlight and the focus of my attention. As you can imagine Hayden does a fairly good job of keeping my attention.

Okay, so here is a thought. My friends from high school do a blogg and they are really big into making comments. I am sure you have all noticed the option to comment (Tom and Kim just used it) and it’s been done a few times but not very often. Anyway, I found on the high school blogg that the frequent use of comments is really nice. Here are the benefits:
1. When you write a post you can simply give an update of your life without trying to remember everything you just read that you wanted to comment on.
2. You don’t have to worry about accidentally leaving someone out when posting comments and questions for everyone.
3. It makes it easier to just simply write a comment without needing to write a whole blogg. You can make comments, ask follow up questions, etc. even when you don’t want to write an update on your own life.

Now, I know I don’t need some sort of special permission to start making comments but it will do me no good if people don’t know to look for them, plus I will feel silly if I am the only one that does it. So give it a thought and see how it goes.

Well that is all, except that I keep forgetting to tell Marnie thank you for getting me addicted to Sudoku! It is so much fun! If Hayden didn’t monopolize the computer I would be playing it all the time! And Adina, I doubt this will help because Morgan is older but when Hayden was afraid to sleep in his room it was because he thought monsters would get him. We could not convince him that monsters were fake so we finally we convinced him that monsters were not allowed in our house so he didn’t need to worry about them. Miraculously it worked! He doesn’t get up in the middle of the night anymore. Do you let her CD player run all night on repeat? We’ve done that to so that when he does wake up he feels comfortable. Good luck with it! We loved the ultrasound picture; Hayden kept laughing his head off and sitting on the ground trying to act like the baby in the ultrasound! Hmmm…all of those items would have been good to put in as comments instead of in my post, next time I’ll do it… Okay now here is my question- how do I deal with the fact that Hayden can almost make it through the day with out a nap but not quite…Should we cut it out or insist he take one? I’d love any input!
Take care!
