So we had Stevie's 2nd birthday party today and now I am pooped. Yes, I know it was a week late, but it was far too hard to plan a party in 3 days. Having it this weekend gave me 10 days. It was tons and tons of Elmo. The cake turned out better than I thought. Stevie had a great time. His little friend Robby from daycare came over with a few other family friends and we had a BBQ and lots of bubbles and running around. My main goal was to wear him out since the little stink is refusing his naps.
The cake took a while last night. Lots of interruptions and lots of red food coloring. It still wasn't as red as I wanted and after I finished, I finally found a blog that said to make the frosting 3 days in advance and it gets redder with time. Wish I would have read that last week!
For the last 4 days, nap time has been a struggle. Today was no exception. He just sits in his room having quiet time and finally falls asleep at like 2. He is suppose to get up at 3, and I feel bad because it's only an hour nap. Today I finally got out the port-a-crib and stuck him in that just to get him to stop playing. He was shoving things down his heater vent. Steve took care of that with a couple of screws. I had the crib in Abbie's room since Steve was fixing the vent and so underestimate his reach. After 30 minutes of screaming, I checked and saw her entire drawer of onesies were thrown across the whole room...and his pants. I need to try and get him more worn out tomorrow morning to try and get these naps back on schedule.
