Lex fell asleep in the car on the way home
\n today (more on that below) and I brought him upstairs. This
\n used to work well, but not so much lately. In the process of
\n changing his diaper and closing the shade, he woke up. I left
\n him there anyway and went down to nurse Eve. I brought her up
\n to bed about 10 minutes ago, very tired and ready for sleep.
\n Lex was still awake. A few minutes later I hear Lex over the
\n monitor saying, “Lex and Eve woke up. Yeah!” over and over. I
\n left them alone for a few minutes then went up to find the
\n light on, the fan off, Eve grinning with her arm out of the
\n crib reaching for Lex and Lex just walking around. When I went
\n in he was very excited and told me again that they woke up and
\n “Want mommy and Lex and Eve to go downstairs.” Funny boy. I
\n explained the difference between being awake and waking up and
\n that he has to fall asleep before he can wake up :) Now they
\n are up there and both of them are talking and I’m pretty sure
\n the fan is off again. I sense a no-nap day today :\/ <\/p>\n
I headed over to the Shoetorium today to try
\n to buy Lex some shoes. Grandpa and Grandma met me there to tend
\n to Eve while I shopped (a very difficult job, I know). I picked
\n that store because they have a very good reputation in the area
\n for accurately measuring shoe sizes and working well with kids.
\n The poor sales guy didn’t stand a chance with Lex. With great
\n patience and persistence we were able to get a size
\n measurement, but Lex would have no part of trying shoes on. He
\n cried and kicked and screamed and said over and over “want no
\n shoes, want no shoes.” He honestly sounded like I was torturing
\n him! So he’s either wearing too-small Crocs all winter (not
\n really an option, of course) or I’ll do what I did last time he
\n out grew his shoes — buy the exact same ones a size bigger :)
\n I’m in trouble they day the stop making Lex’s favorite
\n shoes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
