your first present

That I got you today. I think this is going to be an awesome toy!

My brain won't let me sleep

You said that too me a couple of nights.. I asked you why. You said, come and sleep with me mommy. I said, what are you afraid of? You said, monsters. I said, What do the monsters look like? Dragons, you said. I said, Austin there are no monsters in our apartment. They can't get in through the windows, because the windows are too small. And they can only come in through the door, and we haven't let any monsters in our house. And we won't let any monsters in our house. You got a big smile on your face and said, Yea!

You said, but mommy? I still want you to sleep closer. I said, i will put my arm around you and the monsters wont get either of us. You said, I love you mommy.

I love you too Austin.

Christmas Lights

Saturday I got a wild hair, and decided to put up all the christmas lights. You had been bugging me all week about lights. I tested all the strands I had, so I put them up all around the apartment. How festive it looks! Then I created a little fort for you in the dressing room I am going to have to figure out a better way to do that, because it was too small for me to get in, and you were totally bummed that I couldn't be in there with you. We will work on it. Then we went to kids world park to play. Carol stayed for dinner. You got heat rash, and I had to give you benedryl. I was so worried. The next morning you were fine. You are so much like me. Stubborn and allergic.

Sunday we went to the beach and you found a little guy to play with. His name was Max. Same age as you. You guys were having a great time throwing rocks. I was busy taking photos. Carol and Nena were there too. A good day.

Christmas is coming up. You are looking for santa everywhere. We are watching all the Christmas shows that come on. And all the Christmas DVDs that we own. I hope that Santa is good to you this year. Money is kind of tight, but you are a happy guy! We will get by just fine.
