Big Steps

So other than being really sick Silas has been a very busy boy the past week or so. The first big step he made was we removed his booster seat from his chair at the table and he sits on a cushion pushed all the way up to the table.

The biggest step this week was that he moved from a crib to a big boy bed. He's way cute. But I'm not sure how much I like the fact that he can get up and walk around and come in and get us in the morning.

Both boys are also learning how to share a bedroom. 24hrs after we make Silas' bed a big boy bed we moved Padraic into his bedroom so Mommy and Daddy could have a grown up room. It's worked out well for us, but not so great for the boys. Sleep is at a premium for them. Neither wants to sleep if the other is awake and once Padraic wakes up in the morning Silas is up. So cranky is the new black in our house.

"I CAN MAKE A TACO!"

So I had to share this. On Monday afternoon Silas, who had been entertaining himself in his bedroom, came running into the kitchen while I was making dinner yelling, "Mommy, Mommy!" When I asked him what was up he smiled really big at me and said, "Mommy, I can make a taco!" and stuck out his tongue at me. He has been working on this for at least 6 months. His daddy told him to practice in the mirror. Apparently all that practice made perfect.
