With the help of my little guy, Uncle Paul's April care package is complete. We picked some of the usual suspects, along with some choice holiday selections.
This leads to a very intriguing question:
Do Marines like Peeps???
Let's hope so....
This is Day 76.

Dear Resident of Both Arizona and Evil,
I hope you enjoyed your extravagant purchases at the always necessary merchandisers, Game Stop and The Sunglass Hut. I am sure you were just trying to stimulate the economy with the help of my credit card number and I'm so happy I could be of assistance.
May you trip while playing DDR and accidentally impale yourself on those overpriced and probably tacky sunglasses.
Love and Venom,
The Maid

Excitement All Around
I don't know who's more excited about the latest news: the bride and groom, me, or Olivia the flower girl.
Yipppeeee!!
My little miss has been asked to sprinkle flowers down the aisle as I excite over the dress possibilities.
Not only that, the bride and groom may just have the most unique if not circuitous love story I've ever heard.

For the Love of Sleep: The Results Are In
So I cut his nap short by almost an hour, I put him down at regular time, and I made certain that any other factors that may result in an early rising were averted (e.g. leaky diaper, hungry tummy, etc.) Barring an extra tooth or a tractor actually entering the house, there would be nothing other than his little clock that could lead to an early morning.
What I didn't expect was his sister's early rising. She who had no nap, went down with a full tummy and empty bladder, and by all accounts should have slept to at least 6:30, decided to begin her morning at 5:30.
She was quiet, she crept into our room, and she cozied up to wait for the mandatory 6:00 to appear on the clock before she's allowed to even think about going downstairs.
At 5:35 the tell-tale sound came from yonder crib on the other side of the house:
"Mama, Dada."
Now what?
Other than an entire pot of coffee and the momentary nervous breakdown?

The Quest For Sleep
True to my promise, I woke my son up from his nap right before it hit the three hour mark (which meant he lost almost a whole hour of sleep), and he was not happy.
A grumpy afternoon ensued, followed by a big dinner (no need to have hunger pains stirring him early from sleep), and a usual bedtime of 7:30.
Will it work? Could it be the trick? Will it require many days of new sleep training?
I'll let you know...
