Halloween Pictures

Late but here non the least. Emily was happy that Stephanie old Cinderella dress fit her so she could be a princess this year. Stephanie was Belle and Matthew was the Big Bad Wolf. They all have lots of fun. We did end up with more than 5 pumpkins becasue at first Matthew and Emily wanted to have sparkle pumpkins but then after we did that and Stephanie carved one they walso wanted a pumpkin to carve. So off to get more pumpkins.

Nuks and big boy bed gone

It seemed that Matthew was ready to give up his nuks but not his crib. He said good bye to his nuks without asking for them but spent only 2 days in his big boy bed before asking for his crib back. He has has some trouble going to sleep without his nuks, waking up a couple times a night and getting up early. There are times I am ready for the nuk to reappear. He has fears of crocodiles and monsters coming into his room and anything he can to do to delay bedtime. I make numerous trips to his room to tell him to go to sleep. Naps are still around but shorter and it takes awhile to fall asleep. I am hoping to keep the nap around until summer. It is hard since we can't make bedtime any sooner than 8-8:30 but we should be able to in the summer. Not that he'll want to go to bed when it is still light out but hopefully he'll be tired enough.

He is very happy to have his new truck blanket that Nanna made for him. Even though it is still in his crib I am okay with that. I was more worried about giving his nuks but that wasn't such a big deal after all. I am sure he will move into a bed when he is ready. he says he will have a big boy bed when he is 5 but I have a feeling it will be before then.
