Bath & Nap

It is 5:15. Marcelus is still sleeping. He fell asleep about 1:00. He has done this now the last 3 days. Swimming lessons is wearing him out I guess cause he never naps. Some days after swim we're able to walk down to the complex pool and I teach him myself and I know that really tuckers him out too. I make him work harder than his swim teacher and he's finally starting to make progress with his paddling! He did much better after today. I bathed the boys after Marce and I swam so that also soothed him to sleep. It's crazy though, in a few hours he'll go back down to bed! Poor Phoenix is out of a play date and is cranky all the time lately anyway.....probably because after we all got better from being sick, I cut the cord and we are no longer breastfeeding AT ALL! Oh the freedom after 12 long months! Finally back to working out again also after taking care of all our sickness, so that's good too. Marcelus' last day of swim lessons is tomorrow and then Phoenix has his 12 month wellness on Friday morning. Saturday we are going to my niece Eden's birthday get together and then Sunday I'll be packing like mad. I'm going home for a whole month! Part of that will be spent at our family cabin in Utah.

One thing that Marce is doing lately is throwing a stink when I pick out his clothes. He wants to take away the fun part of parenting and choose himself. This is not cool. I love to pick out their outfits! Sometimes I can trick him in to not noticing that I picked it out when I already have it ready. Either way I could bribe him to go my way. I wouldn't mind it at all but I got him some new shirts and he hasn't even worn them because he never picks them. When I hold it up and ask him, he is clear that he doesn't want to wear it. Frustrating.

Reading Harry Potter 6 again to gear up for the movie coming next month! It's so good! Afterwards I plan to read the 7th again cause I forgot everything.
