Jealous?

And this doesn't even include the
giant suitcase of clothes that have
yet to be put away....
{or unpacked for that matter}

How do 3 people accumulate so
much laundry? :/
{and dishes}

But it's okay - I have a weeks worth
of Martha Stewarts tivo'd to get me
through!

Today was spent out and about.
I went with my friend Chelsea to
check out some baby shower items
and ideas.
We're throwing a baby shower
for a friend {on Saturday} so we're
getting down to crunch time!

We started our excursion with a
trip to Wal-mart, then Honolulu Craft
{which is FABULOUS by the way!}
and lastly to Target. So I think we're
about ready. We just need food - so
a Costco run is in order.
After all the shower shopping, we
decided to hit up Aloha Salad - shsh,
don't tell Daniel! And then Menchies
shsh, don't tell Daniel! He's still in PT
Diet mode :\
I think a giant meal will be at the end
of the PT Diet rainbow. Or maybe out
to dinner. Hmm hmm.
But Menchies is fantastic! It's all about
frozen yogurt. You grab a cup - fill it up
with your preferred flavor{s} of frozen
yogurt - then toppings - and they weigh
and charge you by the ounce.
And their prices are reasonable. I seriously
could live off frozen yogurt. It might
actually do me some good. Since all current
diets have failed :}

Daniel was off today - and hung out with
Dmitri while I was out.
They seemed to have fun! And Dmitri
took a nice long nap for Daniel!
Can't beat that :]

Ah. So I made the mistake of putting
Dmitri to sleep with a bottle when he
was about 8 months.
Well I hadn't stopped. I tried a few times,
and he'd just cry. So I'd give in because
I didn't want complaints from
neighbors. A couple days ago I decided
I needed to put a stop to this.
I got him ready for bed Monday night,
and laid him down. He reaches for his
sippy cup - but no sippy. So he freaks
and cries - and I left. I felt so guilty!
But I knew he'd be okay. And he was.
It took almost a half hour - but he
was fine and fell asleep.

He woke up around 2 crying for a sippy,
and I gave in. Because of the neighbors.

I had originally planned to give him
a sippy during naps - but none at night.
So naps were fine.
Tuesday night I got him ready for
bed - laid him down - he cried for a
minute. A minute! And was asleep.
If that's not good enough - he slept the
entire night! And even took 2 naps
without a sippy!
I'm thrilled!

Tonight he cried for about 10 minutes,
but then fell asleep. And he took
his naps today with no sippy.
I'm so happy!
He'll {hopefully} have cavity free
teeth until his big one's come in.
And even after that I hope!

Later I will write about my 'craft room'
epiphany I had today!
It involves some organizing - and
possible run ins with geckos.
So I'll need Daniel's help for it.
But I have high hopes!

So that was our day!
Laundry got ignored.... so it's left for
tomorrow. I love tomorrow.
It's always a day away...
