Angel....When he is sleeping!

Bedtime has been quite the dilemma since living in a hotel. With only one room it is really hard to make things easy and comfortable enough for Nick to fall asleep on his own. We brought the pack n play, but he has become smart enough to finally crawl out of that. To be quit honest I am surprised that did not happen months ago. Needless to say although bedtime used to be around 8:30 it is now whenever the heck he feels like falling asleep. We put him in bed and he wonders back out to the living room saying " I sawy mommy and daddy". We can't help but laugh. Well last night around 11:00 pm we had finally had enough. We put him in the pack n play, turned of the tv and and closed the door. He cried for maybe two minutes. We could not believe he fell asleep so quickly...FINALLY! Well about thirty minutes later when we decided to go to be, this is what we found.

The little stink just can't stay out of our bed. We have never let him sleep with us. We just did not want to get in that habit. Now I feel sorry for him. Even if we put him in his little bed, we wake up the next morning with feet in our face or ribs. It is so hard to say no or be angry at a face like this!

The Next Michael Phelps?

The upside of living in a hotel seems to be the fact that we are able to go to the pool when ever we want. Nick is not afraid of the water what so ever. As you can see I am afraid for him. We bundle him up in all his swimming gear and let him go. He does NOT like for us to help him or be very near him in the water. I think I am going to try to get him into some swimming lessons this winter at the Y. He is a little fish. I am glad he is not afraid of the water, but wonder what it will be like next year if we don't keep him in touch with water throughout the winter.

Gotta love the goggles! He put them on himself.

Water Update

We are now officially residents of the Drury Inn and Suites of Fairview Heights. After consulting with the contractor we are out of our house for 3 to 4 weeks.

Not only do we have to completely redo the kitchen, but now the bathroom and the living room are involved. The contractor estimated that after all is said and done we are looking at around $15,000 worth of damage.

This should almost total our house. WOW! Unthinkable. I am wondering want in the world we will do for the next few weeks living in a hotel.

I had family coming over tomorrow and sadly they will not be able to make it. I was really looking forward to the fun we would have had to help me keep my mind off of things for a while. I will update you more tomorrow after I meet with the contractor and adjuster. Wish me luck!
