Update... Dallin... the weekend... whatever

For those who are interested (I know, not many I am sure) I want to give an update on Dallin's transition to the big boy bed. I am so proud of my little man for doing so well. In fact, I am loving it! I think the whole thing was much harder on me than him. I thought it was going to be a few weeks of HELL honestly. Turns out, with all the right equipment, things arent so bad after all. The first night, like I previously posted, was very sad because I had no way of keeping Dallin in his room without holding the door knob closed. After two nights, I decided to turn the locks aroung on the doors so I could lock it from the outside. I know, it sounds terrible, but it really works. Now he really doesnt even try to come open the door because he doesnt think he can get out. Bed time has become much easier, and he sleeps great. I can just leave and close the door. He may cry for a minute, but goes right down. If he wakes up, which is not uncommon for Dallin, then I simply can go lay with him for a few minutes until he dozes off and I am back to bed. Before, I didnt quite know what to do with him when he woke up. So, in conclusion, all you mom's out there who are pondering switching over, JUST DO IT. I know I would have waited forever if I could have, but I am actually glad I got thrown into it so fast. Also, another piece of advice, take down the crib immediately so you do not have any option to fall back on. So there you have it. Now, on a more interesting note, this weekend was pretty fun.. Andy got home last night and we enjoyed going to Cafe Rio and watching the Jazz game. Then today we actually were invited to a friends suprise birthday party at the Bee's game. We couldnt resist because it was such a beautiful day. We got to go for free, and hot dogs and drinks were provided too. The cute mascot came over and silly stringed Johnny because it was his birthday. Dallin had a great time, and did so well. It is funny that he wont sit still for two seconds, but when it comes to any sort of sporting event he does amazing. Fine by me I guess! Later, we went to my parent's house for dinner where we enjoyed a backyard soccer game... Me and my sister Sarah vs. Andy and Tyler (my brother in law) That's right, Sarah and I rocked the house down and beat the boys. It's not so easy is it!! I love the weekends where I get to spend time with my family and just relax. Good Times
