Cindyland: How Time Flies

I can't believe it has been so long since I've blogged. Although, given my recent history of my lack of blogging, it shouldn't be any surprise to my readers.

We have been doing well. Caitlin is officially a no-napper and when she does fall asleep, bedtime is oh so fun. We went to Six Flags on Friday before Mother's Day. We went with J, K, B, and M. Caitlin had an absolutely fabulous time with her cousins, Uncle, and Aunt. The dolphins were her favorite and she kept on asking for "more dolphins, please." Colton handled the trip better than anyone. He didn't make a peep the whole time and stayed in the stroller and nodded off when he needed. I was shocked and delighted at how well he did.

Caitlin (with the help of Dennis) made me breakfast on Mother's Day along with a card. The pancakes didn't turn out (as she did all the work except flip them), but the eggs, bacon, and toast were lovely. I made Nancy's meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner...per my request.

Caitlin had her last soccer game last Tuesday and scored TWO goals! She was excited, but I think she would rather cheer everyone else on. She spent a good deal of time on the bleachers clapping and "woo hooing" everyone else. While Caitlin was cheering, Colton was trying to get on to the court to play. We kept on having to chase after him so he wouldn't get clobbered by a kid or ball.

So Monday, I caught Colton standing up in his crib! Now it's official that we must raise the crib rail everytime. We have a drop side crib because I'm so short that I can't lay Colton down all the way in his crib. I'm really happy that our crib has never been on a recall list. I guess I'd have to get a stool to stand on.....but at 3am, I'm not sure that would be such a safe thing for ME to stand on! Hahaha.

Colton is still working on his second tooth. I really hope it comes through soon! Last night was the first good night of sleep I've had in a really long time. It would be nice if he did it again. Although, I would really appreciate it if he slept in until 7am instead of 6am....it's really hard for me to fake being awake at that hour!

One more note, Caitlin dropped an ENTIRE---completely unopened---gallon of milk on the floor in the kitchen and it split open and went EVERYWHERE! I had to call Dennis to come home to move the fridge because at least half of it was under there. I know you shouldn't cry over spilled milk, but you should have seen it!
