So the biggest news of the day/weekend is that Miles has given up his pacifier. Yes, you read it right. It wasn't really voluntary, but when he suddenly started carting this blanket around on Sunday. We figured that was a prime opportunity to swap one comfort object for another. We're on night three and completed the second day of naps, even one at school. It was an unceremonius swap, we just ignored the pleas for "ba! ba!" and said nighty-night. A few minutes of fussing ensued, followed by an abrupt silence.
School is really having a very positive impact on him. If you (I) can get past the sobbing that starts when I turn in the entrance and he sees where we're going, he actually ends up having a great day. The sobbing stops as soon as I'm out the door, but he doesn't know that I know that. He's figured out coloring, napping on a mat with a blanket, and sitting at a table for snacks/lunch. He likes that table thing so much that he's started requesting it at home. And by "requesting" I mean refusing to bend his body and sit in his booster while flailing about and screaming. Ah yes, did you know the terrible twos actually starts around 15 months? Learn something new every day!
This weekend also kicked off the holiday eating season. We started Saturday with a pancake breakfast at the church. Miles's future girlfriend Eileen was there with her mom and dad. We had fun visiting with them, or trying to while chasing Miles down. Several of his playgroup buddies were also there so he was off and running with them.
And finally, Sunday was a big birthday in the Erwin house... Apollo turned 42!! Okay that's really 6 in people years. But we all celebrated with cupcakes. We love you, big boy!!
