I headed up the the cabin on Tuesday. We had a fun time and Clayton was the 'expert' fisherman and the kids got to enjoy swimming a lot! We also went out in the paddleboat. The weather was perfect. It did thunderstorm on Tuesday, but that was not a big deal! Evan did not nap on the way up to the cabin, as expected. He just doesn't sleep in the car. He's turned into a very silly guy, trying to get reactions from people. He even laughs at himself!
Anyway, it was bedtime (about 9:30pm) and he was tired, but not really showing it. He is a very active kid. He can fool anyone to think that he is not tired. He slept in the 'bathroom' of the cabin (small room that will be the bathroom if we ever get indoor plumbing). It contains the pack/play & a bed. That was to be my bedroom as well. So, I gave him his milk sippy (I am holding him) and then put him in his pack/play with his blanket, stuffed animal & 2 'plugs.' Well, over the next half hour, he 'played' and was really starting to be obnoxious because he was throwing everything out of the Pack n Play, including his plugs. I would go and give them back to him and give him a 'stern' warning to keep them this time. (hahaha) Well, after getting them for him about the 3rd time, I said forget it. I put the 2 plugs on the bed and put him in the pack n play and left the room.
Wow! He was quiet!! I waited, waited and waited. I was lamenting that perhaps he didn't 'need' his plugs anymore and would not give them to him anymore. I was so happy with this new found joy!!! It surprised me, but it made me happy that he was telling me that he didn't need his plugs anymore.

Well, pretty soon it was bedtime for myself. I was sleeping in the same room with him, so I peeked in on him and low & behold... he ...









was sound asleep. :) ♥















Plugs in mouth & hand laying on the bed. ♥ Guess he told me!!

My hands are full but my heart is overflowing!
