The Late Post

I don't know what time most moms go to sleep but I usually don't go to bed till about 10:30 or 11ish. I titled it the late post cause 9:30 might be considered late to some people. Got Kendrix to bed in his own bed again! Yay! I feel like it's the start of something totally awesome. Even for nap time he's falling asleep and sleeping in his big boy bed. I guess the 18 month stage will bring good things but I know some bad things also. Kinda already learned that in Toddler Time at the library today. He pushed one of our friends babies down and then tried to kick him. How do you punish your child for bad things? I use the spankin' and time out for one minute after the spankin'. It actually is pretty affective for us. All kids are different so what works for us might not work for you. 

Yesterday I mentioned going to the zoo. Well we drove all the way down there to discover it was SUPER packed so we just took him to see Frozen instead. He did really good for his first movie. We took him around his nap time though which was stupid on our behalf so he fell asleep half way through. Least he didn't fuss or anything.

We live in a little one bedroom apartment and have no room for a table. So I came up with a genius idea of getting a card table. I think it's important for kids to understand and see the importance of eating at the table and having a quiet time. We attend church regularly and I've read that the key to keeping them quiet in church is to start at home. Kendrix does fairly well in church but he's very wiggly. So we went and bought a card table yesterday and ate every meal there today and Kenny seemed to love it. I also bought baby devotional books at Mardels today. One for the day time and one for night time. I used the night time one tonight and he loved it. I can't wait to read the bible story one to him tomorrow. 

I started my online classes today. They seem fairly easy but I'm nervous about my personality theories class. Prayers my way for classes would be awesome. How do y'all manage time to do personal things? I try to do mine when Kendrix is napping or if I have the energy I do it after he's asleep at night. Either way I usually get stuff done. 

Well I think I might go enjoy a little bath to myself since I'm not very sleepy. Goodnight all!
