happy weekend

Soren asked me to rock him to sleep tonight.  No, really - my wee toddler pointed to his rocker, grabbed my neck, tucked in his little legs as I picked him up and gave me a big snuggle-squeeze.  I really didn't think that my heart could possibly grow any bigger, but it did tonight.  ​

This week has been full of fun, but not without it's tough moments.  Soren is learning how to sleep in his toddler bed, or rather - we are learning how to work with him on sleeping in his toddler bed.  He has this tendency to wake up at about 3:30 in the morning and since he can ​wake up and roam around - he does.  SO - we are working on getting him to fall back asleep.(whew!)  

Basically - this sleep deprived momma really, really​ loved her snuggles tonight and REALLY needed them.  Thanks little man.  This week I grabbed some of these priceless shots of the little dude having fun at Sawyer Point.  He is really starting to look like a little boy and less like a baby every day.  Oh goodness, how the time flies! 

​

We are planning on doing some relaxing, re-focusing careers (me, basically), but most of all getting ready for our trip.  My bro's last day of Paramedic School is next Tuesday - so we will be Skype celebrating with him early next week.  I will be gearing up for that one - butterflies already.  This is such a BIG deal for him and his family!  Love you bro!​
