"Oh No!"

Playing with those keys...safe from the trash!

Ready to go "home", as he says, with his ball in hand.

Well, the title, "OH NO!" is for me...yelling just that as my keys went down the trash shoot in our HUGE apartment building.  It was like slow motion as I let the trash, (and the keys) go down, down, down to the basement.  Since we were locked out, Rookie, LJ and I ran to the office - eventually a man who didn't want to open the door to the trash room got us in there.  There were my keys, sitting right on top !!  Yay!!  So, we're all set - mail key, electronic gate opener and house key are ours again, and we are thankful!  I told them, If you will just let me in, I'll climb in there and look.  I know it's in there.  Luckily, we didn't have to look so hard! 

The rest of the day was wonderful -- LJ was up early again, but what can you do?  I'm buying book for toddlers, ( I had read the baby edition, but I think he's old enough for the older one).  It's called the NO CRY SLEEP SOLUTION FOR TODDLERS.  It promises to help, though not a quick fix, and it will help me to be more informed of LJ's sleep patterns and needs.  I'll let you know how it works.  We are the perfect "before and after" test family, I think!

LJ played at the pool and on the terrace this morning before lunch time.  I like our mornings with no plans. It allows us to be a bit lazy, and a bit creative.  We can lay around, watch a movie and color or even do puzzles.  Those seem to be fun to him now.  It's amazing to watch him grow -- he's learning REAL stuff now.  He can go get me a diaper when I ask, knows that the fire truck in the puzzle goes on the fire truck on the board...amazing.  Kids are so smart!  

We went to work out tonight, so after his playing and my running we are pooped!  I hope you had a great day, too -- we miss and love you!

Love,

Jamie
