frogs and steps

grayson did it!! his first two steps together at one time! luckily kenny was home to see it, you always wanna see your kid's first steps.. since then, gray has been practicing walking towards aislyn who welcomes him with open arms. however, instead of standing there patiently, waiting for him to walk to her, she ends up falling towards him and landing on top of him. so that's been fun.

the second thing i am aiming to document today is aislyn's night terror last night. she woke up screaming at 1a.m. which is unusual for her. kenny went to get her and she was talking about the frog that was trying to get her. what? kenny tried to reason with her that frogs are nice. and that there were certainly none in our house. she wouldn't have it. he brought her into our room and while i was holding her, she was quiet and still, and out of the blue started rubbing at her clothes like she was trying to get bugs off and screaming! how odd is that? odd enough ffor us to turn on the light as i prayed there weren't roaches all over her. she's never done that before. maybe that's what night terrors are all about, she has never had one, so we really didn't know what to do. she ended up sleeping on kenny's head with her feet in my back all night. i'm pretty sure that kenny and i were awake for about 85% of the night. the funniest part was at 6:30 this morning, when kenny went and got grayson to bring him to me to feed in bed, aislyn opened her eyes, looked at me and said "good morning mommy. i yuv you." and then closed her eyes and went back to sleep. i expected her to be a terror when she woke up. (that came later) anyways, i'm writing this down because if aislyn ends up with an irrational fear of frogs when she is older, we'll have this to look back to for answers. :) stay away from my little girl, kermit....

Yeah Grayson! Walking just in time for his first birthday! Poor Aislyn. I always had nightmares as a child, quite frequently still do, never about frogs I don't think. I do have an irrational fear of birds, so maybe that's why. I love my B-Y-R-D birds tho.

Yeah! first steps sorry we missed it Go Grayson. Sorry for Aislyn's night terror I hope she still likes frogs. Kim "Wilson" Ellison's daughter had night terrors at the same age. You should give her a buzz or Linda I'm sure would have some advice. When I babysat Annabell I would go in and wipe her face with a warm wash cloth she would calm down and go back to sleep well she was still asleep really. We look forward to seeing the pics of the Birthday Party sorry we will miss it. Luv
