Everyday life...

No one would probably think that taking a shower is frustrating when you have two kids. But, when you have two kids with different nap schedules, and whose naps depend on absolute silence, it gets tricky. I can't take a shower when Syd is asleep because to no avail, she will wake up, and vice versa with Dylan. So, here is my strategy, when I get in the shower Dylan HAS to come is or he will sit screaming bloody murder. The second the water is turned on he is undressed and in the shower in less than 30 sec. To keep Sydney happy and close by, I have Dylan play a game with her, the "touching hands game". Syd stays happy, and Dylan loves moving his hand before she touches it. Oh the things we do for our kids...I could just put them both in thier rooms and let them cry, but I just don't have the heart to do it. Just imagine the excitement I have when I get to shower when dad is home watching the kids...its Christmas all over again!
Oh and by the way, don't bother looking too close, I did do my share of zooming and checking this picture close to make sure I didn't pull an Elaine (Seinfeld) on her Christmas cards. :)

Oh and here is a pic of Sydney face forward since apparently I am not posting enough pics of her. She is still as cute as ever...I can't get enough of those curls.

Oh my gosh! That shower story is the cutest ever!! I am looking into getting a new car seat for Lucas soon since his carrier is just way small for his fattiness. Any suggestions?

Humm...I would get a convertible car seat since he still needs to face backwards...I have cosco since it was good safety and cheaper than others, but the chemicals aren't great in those. Eventually you can face him forwards and use it as a booster. I would read into safety features, but also the chemicals in seats. I watched a dateline on the toxic chemicals in car seats and it freaked me out. Go to http://www.healthycar.org/carseat.searchmodel.php tell me what you find because I need a new seat too!

You know we were all curious to see what we would find if we blew the picture up 300%. Nothing, huh? You're too good.

I have heard awesome things about Britax but they are crazy expensive so I've been looking since Lucas was born on Craigslist for a lightly used one for a great price. Well, it worked! Found one from a really nice lady who used it in their THIRD car (I mean, really...who has 3 cars these days??) and they barely used it. It was a $330 care seat and she gave it to us for $100! It looks brand new! It will work til 65 lbs so all we will need is a booster after it. YAY!
