Disneyland with my boys.

Nolen and Ollie-
Today I decided last minute to take you Disneyland for a few hours- and boy was it a great idea! It couldn't have been more perfect. We went on, It's a Small World, to ToonTown, Tea Cups, Peter Pan, and ended the morning with the Carosel (sp?)...Nolen you are learning how to be a better boy in line. You love to climb anything you can and by so doing you sometimes get hurt in the process- hoping you learn soon just to stand still! And Ollie! PERFECT! You came on all the rides with us without a tear- you loved it just as much as Nolen. Near the end when when we were in line for the Carosel you fell asleep on my chest and I held you so close and snuggled you up. You have never done that before. It was too precious having you up against my cheek.
Before naps today- Nolen- you began to make Ollie laugh again. I LOVE LOVE LOVE when you make your little brother laugh. You can do it so quickly. Ollie sure does think you are the best. He LOVES to watch what you do and follows you wherever you go. He just thinks you are pretty much the coolest ever.
Thank you boys for making me one happy mama today. I love you and am so happy that I get to stay home with you and take good care of you!!

Loves,
Mom

SCREAMING.

Nolen-
I am so happy I have found a way to write to you whenever I want. My friend gave me this wonderful idea to make a blog for my boys so whenever a funny, sad, awkward, madning, thing happens I can write it down and keep in touch with you through these letters!
So you are now 2 1/2 and clearly on your way to 3, and oh so active! We got rid of your binky about a month ago and you did surprizingly well! you didn't cry through the night or throw any big fits- it was awsome. And just this week you have been SCREAMING during your naps and SCREAMING in the middle of the night- I am guessing it is either your molars coming in or growth spurts- whatever it is-it's driving me CRAZY! You have such a LOUD and scary scream-and you are like me (unfortunatly)-stubborn, and won't usually calm down unless I come in and comfort you- but I don't want to do that- because I KNOW you are capable of going back to sleep or reading a book, or playing with toys! So why the SCREAMING??? To drive me crazy?!?? AH, NOLEN! I love you to pieces, but boy- I don't know how much more of this screaming I can take. I just let you scream for the last 45 mins, and you FINALLY quieted down- and I hope to help you figure out what is going on! I love you. OH! You did do your first poops in the baseball toilet today! WAHOO- so happy, you are doing great! I am now feeling guilty- I am going to go get you and hold you close. Even though you scream loudly, and give me headaches, I can't resist your snuggles:) LOVE YOU.

Love,
Mom
