Naptime struggles

Connor has been really good at going to bed at bed time with his new bed, but nap time is a struggle. He only comes out once or twice but it takes like sometimes 2 hours till he goes to sleep. He plays and plays in his room, comes out and we send him back in and after that he usually goes to sleep. Now that he can get out of his bed he just wants to play. He doesn't do it at bedtime though so that's good. He still waits for me to come and get him in the morning too. Also I have heard horror stories of kids getting up in the middle of the night and getting in bed with mommy and daddy when they get in to a bed and thank goodness he hasn't done that. Anyways so yesterday I put him down around 2 and had to go to work at 3. He came out a little before I had to leave for work and I put him back in bed and then left. When I got home from work I saw these pictures on the camera Billy had taken.

Looks nice and comfy doesn't he....ON THE FLOOR!
Apparently the floor is more comfortable than his bed. Usually he plays and then gets into his bed. Guess he was too exhausted from all the playing.
Today he played in his room for 2 hours when I put him down for nap and then came out after 2 hours and it was 4:00 so I just decided to axe the nap today and he will go to bed early.

3 Things I am excited for to come in January

1st AMERICAN IDOL!
Ok so I am a HUGE American Idol fan and am so stoked that it is starting next week! Tuesday nights at work become Idol nights I love it! I seriously get so into it. I am so excited for the Salt Lake Auditions too. I am a huge fan of So you think you can dance too and they did auditions in Salt Lake for the 1st time last season. 4 from the Salt Lake auditions made it in to the top 20, 2 into the top 10, and 1 in to the top 4! Well because of all the talent they found there (and I'm sure David Archuleta had a lot to do with it) Idol went to Salt Lake for this season!It will be interesting with a new judge this season but I am way excited!

2nd LOST
Lost starts January 21st. I am not a die hard fan like my husband but I definetly love the show. Billy got me hooked and it is very very intense. We are having a Lost party for the premire which will be fun. If you are a Lost fan and want to come let me know!

3rd (the most excited of all!) CONNOR'S BIRTHDAY
His birthday is the 29th I can't believe he is going to be 2! I thought the 1st year went by fast but whoa this one was just as fast. I have loved the 23 months I have had with him so much and can't wait for the journey to come for this year too. We are getting family pictures and his 2 year old pictures done on Saturday at Target. We got them done there last year for his 1 year old and family pictures and they did a really good job. That was the last time we had them done so I am excited. They emailed them to us a few days after last time so as soon as we get them back I will post them!
