Wednesday the kids both got a fun surprise: new beds!! Brandon had found a good deal on a bunk bed from a friend of his, so Kylie finally got a big girl bed, and Hayden got the crib! Hayden was super excited for his new bed, until bed time. Then we had a bad night because when he woke up things weren't familiar. But every night since then he has slept super well and only has been waking up once a night! Yay!!
Kylie absolutely loved her new bed. She "helped" Brandon put it together, which was a lot of work.
By the time we got the mattresses on she was fake yawning and kept saying "I'm sleepy" because she wanted to try out her new bed so badly! The top bunk is a favorite to play on for both kids, but Kylie sleeps on the bottom.
Everyday I am still talking to Kylie about potty training, and every day it is still the same loud, resolute "NO". Until one day this week she said yes! This happens like once a month so I was super happy! Nothing came of it, but she sat in there for a good ten minutes!
On Saturday we finally got our Christmas tree up! Kylie was a good helper by putting on the ornaments with me. Hayden was a good helper by promptly taking down all the ornaments that Kylie put up. So once again the tree is only dressed on the top half because Hayden won't let anything stay up and keeps trying to eat them. But our house is finally festive! It's hard to feel like it's Christmas without the mountains of snow everywhere, so I have been compensating by singing Christmas Carols all the time and super loud. Poor kiddos!
That night, since it was so nice outside, we went to the temple grounds and looked at all the lights. Hayden could stay at one lit bush forever, and Kylie raced ahead full of excitement. It was nice to get out with the family and enjoy a little Christmas spirit!
