Thursday is ALMOST Friday :)

I babysat my nephew Conner last night while my sister did some Thirty-One thing.  Conner is almost 2 1/2 and I love him like he's my own.  I would do anything for that kid.  (Being an aunt is such an awesome thing because you get to be cool and not have to do too much disciplining)

 

This is an older picture, but you get the idea :)

 

Last night's babysitting went WAY better than the horrible time I had a few weeks ago.  My sister came home and I was panicked to say the least.  Having a two year old and a baby is NOT an easy task my friend.  My sister has a baby on the way (coming Monday hopefully) and I had her a little freaked I believe.  She came home (the first time I babysat, not last night) and I kept saying "I don't know how you're going to do it!"  She felt bad because her child was bad, but really he wasn't that bad, I'm just not used to having two kids around! 

 

Anyway, back to last night....Both kids were pretty good.  Cameron fell asleep, so I put him in Macie's (my sister's baby to come) swing so that he could sleep.  Well Conner LOVES to push Cam in the swing and kept saying "Push Keg!" (Yes, he calls my child Keg, and we have no idea why because it used to be a clear Cam).  So that was a little difficult...keeping Conner away from the swing. 

 

After Cam woke up, I decided to clean the living room up a bit.  Conner likes to bring pop cans from the kitchen to the livingroom, so as I was picking them up, I dropped one and pop shot around pretty much the whole room!  Both kids were screaming and I couldn't stop laughing! (until I realized it was ALL over the walls!)  When Cyndi (my sister) came home, Conner kept telling her the story and laughing haha 

 

Yet another night of the crib transition....

 

Last night I put him to sleep at 11:19 p.m. (it was so late because he had just taken a cat nap around 9)....he cried until 12:03 a.m.  That means we went from 65 minutes of crying (the night before) to 44 minutes of crying!  Not too bad!  If we cut 20 minutes off every night, next week will be a piece of cake!  However, my child is stubborn so I am hoping for the best, preparing for the worst :/

 

So now we're out work and we're patiently waiting for Friday! :)

Tip of the Day:  Once you have your baby and are trying to get him in to a sleep schedule, routine means everything!  Cameron's bedtime routine is eat, play, sing our songs, say our prayers, and go to sleep.  Some people like to give their babies a bath before they go to bed, but I don't bathe Cam everyday, so this wouldn't make for a good routine.  Find out what fits your baby and your family the best and stick with it.  The sooner the baby learns the routine, the sooner he'll be snoozing when you put him in his crib :)
