January Its a cold month, so lets play at the firehouse and go to the McDonalds playground!!!!

The weather has been very cold this month. We can't play outside so we are off to the McDonalds playground. Jake and Alix climb up and around as TJ uses the small slide. They have a great time through the tunnels and slides. Jake is learning how yummy those Happy Meals are. Plus the toys that come with them. We usually last there for about 1 hour 1/2.

Yummy hamburgers! Mommy is now making some at home for dinner. In one week Jake ate a hamburger 4 days in a row.

Lets go to the firehouse and see Mr. Todd. Jake and Alix had a great time playing in the trucks. They owned the place. Jake actually started the big truck. We cracked up and of course took the keys out. The things we do during the cold winter to have fun with our friends.

January 31 Big boy bed for Jake.

January is a big step. Jake went down for his nap. A few minutes later someone grabbed Mommies leg. Guess who climbed out of his crib. Jake had a huge smile on his face, he was so proud. I told him back to bed and he climb back into his crib. A few minutes later guess who was back. This went on for about 45 minutes. We gave up and said ok time for your new bed. We bought Jake's mattresses the day before and were ready.

Sunday night Jake took about 1hour and 1/2 to finally go to sleep. He kept climbing off the back end of the bed. Using his laundry bin to step down. Down the hallway he comes to see Mommy and Daddy watching TV. We sent him back, laid with him until he finally fell asleep. Monday and Tuesday night was the same. Then Wednesday night he woke at 1:00am and luckily Mommy hears everything. He got up walked down the hall to the kitchen. He was looking for light and thought we were up. I followed him in and told him we were in bed. I showed him Daddy sleeping and said we need to go to sleep. Back to bed he went, but he continued to get up and come see me for the next 1hour and 40 minutes. He was very cranky at school that day and was not being a good helper. When we explained our sleep time they just giggled. Jake has now slept in his bed and waits for us to get him in the mornings. He is doing just great.
