Tristan Has Escaped!

I was playing some Animal Crossing with Michelle during Tristan's nap today.  Suddenly we heard a huge BOOM upstairs... Michelle even heard it through the mic.  Apparently Tristan has now figured out how to scale his crib rails.  He is perfectly fine... no idea how he landed or anything, but it was loud!  Luckily we can still raise the rails a bit.  I had them lower for my own comfort, but a change must be made.  This is actually a good thing because he's going to have to be in a big boy bed by 2yrs old anyway.

I hope everyone enjoys the tickers I put up (again).  I mostly need them for myself because I don't know how pregnant I am most of the time lol.

Holy cow you only have 34 days to go!!

That's crazy that Tristan escaped his crib at a year and a half! I think Dylan did at 19 months! Maybe it will work out best for you anyways because of bending & lifting him out of the crib...with being really pregnant and all! Will he be sharing a room with Noah or move to a twin bed in his own room?

I'm glad he's okay. Dylan did this and it scared me half to death. I guess its a warning sign of all the upcoming freedoms and independence they desire. When will it end?

I think I was lucky to have a girl who didn't want to leave her crib haha. I think boys are defintely more adventerous then girls. I hope he doesn't try to do it again! Are you moving him to his new bed before the baby comes or after?

Tristan will be moving to the bottom bunk of Noah's bed and Noah will be going back to the top bunk after we get to Spain. The baby will probably be at least 3mos old by then. Unless of course he outgrows the bassinet sooner. So Tristan will be just shy of 2yrs old. Luckily he doesn't move around as much as Noah does so I won't have to worry about him falling out constantly. It will be interesting to see if these boys can stop playing and fall asleep though. I think it's going to be really fun for them to share a room. Of course they might end up getting their own rooms too... we shall see when we get a house.

Southwest Vacation - Arizona Part 3, exploring Walnut Canyon and Flagstaff

Image
After the Grand Canyon, we were fine with sticking closer to home.  I had found quite a few interesting stops in the general area, but we all agreed driving more than like 15 minutes was not going to happen.  The closest place was Walnut Canyon National Monument.



An ancient Native American tribe in this area, the Sinagua people, built homes into the rocks at around 1100 to save themselves from all the complications of living near volcanic eruptions (nearby Sunset Crater had a series of eruptions in 1040).  They only stayed in these cliff dwellings for about 4 generations (100 years) and then moved on.  There were little constructed rooms all over the cliffs.  It was fascinating.  And beautiful.  We were happy to be able to interact with the scenery.



Tristan discovered his eye for photography and took tons of pictures with my old phone.  He's got a really great instinct for framing photos and pays attention to foreground/mid-ground/background all at once.  He did it all: from textu…

I'm Writing a Book

Image
I've been writing a book for over 5 years now.  When I first started writing I would only go in spurts of manic typing followed by months of nothing.  Looking back on what I had written was always interesting because I don't remember what I wrote, and I am generally surprised at the insight and elegance of what I typed out.  I find old writings of mine all the time, and some of them I still get so anxious about sharing, but I noticed that comes with a theme of prior personal judgment of self.  One self in particular.  I have no faith in my inner teacher.  I am not the most confident person when it comes to sharing new ideas or my perceptions of situations.  Oh I'm definitely a bold and thoughtful person, but I don't want to discuss my reasons for my choices.  When I do, afterwards I get anxious about how others felt about what I said or how I said it.  I will tell myself I don't have valuable insight, everyone already knows what I know, no one wants to learn what I…

Southwest Vacation - Wrap Up

Image
We're back into our usual routines, looking for the next adventure.  The kids were a little apprehensive about "staying in some stranger's house" beforehand, but are now completely on-board with Airbnb stays.  Everything went so well.  We saved money by cooking and it was much less stressful than our other trips.  I have finally learned what works!  A few of these I just learned.

1. No car rides longer than 6hrs in one day.
2. Plan at least ONE day of absolutely nothing per week for mental and physical recovery.
3. Always bring: snacks from grocery stores (larger portions, smaller prices), collapsible coolers, and empty water bottles.  Freezing water and keeping it in a cooler for road trips saves a ton of money by eliminating gas station stops.  You also get healthier options.
4.Book and pay for every large important thing far in advance so there are no preventable surprises (flights, rental cars, hotels/places to stay) and you actually take the trip.
5. Always have…
