I can't believe there is nothing blog worthy going on in our lives! We went to the brooklyn Aquarium today and met some new friends and definitely skipped the beach! If anyone has every been to Coney Island you know what I'm talkin about! Glass, trash, grime and yuck!
Its E's spring break this week and we are taking off to DC for a couple days to help my mom plant a very small garden. But since we'll be there for most of the summer I'd like to have a project to work on. So if anyone has any tips on how to keep an organic garden I'd love to hear them!
So we're taking a new bus service called Bolt Bus and if you book on certain days it is as low as $1!! Seriously! And even if you buy a ticket from the driver it will never be above $20...not too shabby. I will give you all the exciting details when I return...I know you all can't wait!
UPDATE RE: SLEEP TRAINING
Mission was NOT a success.
Basically we tried for one week and boy was this boy persistent! It was so sad but we were sticking to our guns but after a few days he was so anxious at bedtime that he didn't even want to NURSE! If any of you know my boy you know that he is always attached at the boob. So I made a deal with him that he could continue sleeping with us if he promised not to nurse all night and so far it has worked out pretty well. He usually wakes at around 5am and then goes back to sleep boob in mouth for the next couple of hours...I can live with that considering that he goes down around 7pm. So everybody wins....for now.

Maybe you and Cannon could just move out of the bed. He might just want the whole bed ;). Give that boy a nighttime snuggle for me. I miss having Claire right next to me.
I made the mistake of bringing Jack into bed with us one night last week, when he woke up in the middle of the night (highly unusual- that he is in our bed anymore AND that he wakes up in the middle of the night).
He was whining and squirming, and tugging on my shirt, so finally I gave in! He nursed for a short time before falling to sleep- we all slept in peace for the next three hours.. BUT, now he has been reminded that if he lays next to me I can nurse... or at least he was able to once. I have made it a habit not to lay down with him this last week or two.. he's back to doing better, and going without. (not asking).
I think we are on our way to him being weaned.. without much effort on my part at all!
I know how you feel about Coney Island - last summer we thought we would go for a day - we lasted less than an hour (including the aquarium)!
Good luck with the sleep training and weaning - every child is so different!
