SUCCESS!

Alexander is sleeping in his own bed tonight. Granted, he is in the same room with Haley, but he is in his own big boy bed. He has just gotten to the point where I can not imagine that he is comfortable in a crib. He doesn't have a lot of room to move around and the mattress is always pretty soft for babies. I guess I shouldn't proclaim success just yet. I imagine if we go the week without him getting up we should consider ourselves lucky. We didn't HAVE to move him out of a crib, but Ben being in town for three weeks straight definitely helps. Alexander sees no one and hears no one when daddy is home and so we thought the transition would be a smooth one as long as he was the one putting him to bed and tucking him in. We are definitely keeping our fingers crossed. We didn't move the girls out of their cribs until they were 2 years or older, so it feels a little premature.

Work is going great, I doubt that I will ever leave. Unless they walk me out, of course.

The girls have spring fever, and are having a tough time concentrating at school. Haley's teacher called to let me know that she will be getting an "N" for conduct. (N= needs improvement) She has had to move her clip quite frequently these past few weeks and she is sitting in a desk rather than at a group table due to her behavior. She is a very social girl and likes to be the boss, which translates to talks a lot.

We don't have family vacation plans for spring break. Madison is going with the youth group down to Houston to work with a church outreach program. Rebecca will be leaving for three days to visit and camp at a horse ranch about an hour away. I am planning on taking off of work the Friday of Spring Break so that I can hang out with Ben and the kids.

I have been able to hang out at the house this weekend. It's the first time in a while that I haven't had plans of some kind. It was nice to hang out and be lazy. I am not ready for Monday.
