Happy New Year! It is 2016 and the last day of Tyler's winter break. I loved having him home it was so much fun. Most days we just lay around the castle... Quick, what movie is that from? Seriously though, most days we did just hang out at home and enjoy each other's company. This was 100% fine with me. It was the most stress free Christmas break we have had since we got married.
We saw the new Star Wars movie. Tidus was probably more into it than Ted was. Ted was super fidgety the entire time. Tyler felt like he missed a lot of the movie which bummed him out. I told him he could go back and see the movie again without us. Be careful what you say. Right after the movie we went to a restaurant to get lunch. It was at this point Tyler noticed his wallet was missing! He went back to the theater but the next showing was just starting and people filled the entire section we had been in. It was decided that Tyler would buy another ticket (I had my wallet) and see the movie a second time. The kids and I hung around the outdoor mall next to the theater. Ted and I said a few prayers that daddy would find his wallet. 2 1/2 hours later and huzzah, Tyler found his wallet and got to see the movie sans interruptions. Win win :)
We set some family New Year goals. They are all mostly financial. We want to get better at saving and we decided the best motivation to not spend money (other than not having any money to spend) is to have a goal of something large you are saving up for. We decided to save for the house we would eventually like to purchase. Who knows what city or state this house will be in but when we get it we want to have a nice down payment.
Another gift Tyler got me for Christmas was an entire lighting set up complete with 2 umbrella stands and a smaller light stand. Our master bedroom is huge so last night we moved over the bed and made room for a mini photo studio. Ruby and Tidus are the subjects of the majority of my photos because they are the 2 that are always handy. I would love to develop the talent of making great photos.
And in helmet news. I AM GOING CRAZY! Tidus does not nap anymore. He used to take up to 3-4 hour naps but now when I set him down he wakes up within 15 minutes. At night he still wakes up every 2-3 hours. I want to cry just thinking about it. I am convinced it has to do with the helmet. Living in an apartment, I can't let him cry it out because I don't want to annoy our neighbors.
I have heard a saying that babies are more than their ability to sleep... that person probably had a really good sleeper.
Most likely the solution will be to just tough it out. One day he will sleep. But for now he sits on my lap kicking the keyboard and blowing raspberries while Tyler and Ted take naps in their rooms.
