Wednesday January 18

Jammer had a coffee demo so it was just me and the boys for the day. We played in the backyard and made whole wheat cheddar crackers. Koa wasn't a fan of the making food part because he couldn't really do anything and was getting bored but Tre had fun. Funny thing though, after the crackers were baked and ready to eat Tre wouldn't eat them. He is so weird about the way foods look. Even though he liked the way the cracker looked when we made it he didn't like it after it was baked. Strange child. HAHA.

So we hung out until it was time to put the boys down for nap. While I was putting Koa down I had put the TV on for Tre to keep him occupied. Once Koa was down it was time to get Tre down. It ended up being quite the challenge. I think because I don't put Tre down for nap often it was like a party to have me in his room and he did not want to go to sleep. Ultimately, I told him that he had to stay in his room until his clock said 4:00.

So we laid quietly in his bed, then the garage door opened (it was Jammer coming home). Tre got a little antsy at this point but he still had 20 minutes before he could get up. So he definitely was not going to sleep now. I thought maybe if I told him that he had to stay in his bed until 4 then maybe he would fall asleep waiting but it didn't happen and at 4:00 he jumped up and left his room. No nap for Tre.

Jammer ended up taking Tre on a bike ride to the bike track so he wouldn't wake up Koa. They had a lot of fun. There were some neighbor kids hanging out there so they hung out with them, built up some of the jumps and then after cleaning up the trash at the bike track they ate popsicles provided by one of the neighbor kids. Then it was getting dark so Jammer and Tre came home. Koa and I hung out at the house for more than 30 minutes waiting for them to come home. Then it was time to make dinner and get the boys ready for bed. I ended up putting both boys down because Tre was being weird about me leaving his room so I laid with him until he fell asleep (however it didn't happen until 9pm - crazy since he didn't have a nap). Then I put Koa down which took me a little longer than expected.
