Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's day to Eric, my dad, Denny, and Boots! This is Eric's first Fathers day, and I think he's having a good one. For Mother's day last month, I got to choose the activities for the entire weekend. And we are doing the same for Father's day! Yesterday Eric slept until 11, and we went clothes shopping for him later in the afternoon. Last night I took him out to eat wings. You can understand how much my Buffalo boy enjoyed that, I'm sure. Today, I let him sleep again. He was up by 9, and gone by 10 for 18 holes of disc golf. It's another one of his favorite things! Tonight we are going to Pops in the Park, which is a summer event where the Charlotte symphony orchestra plays for free in the park. It's a lot of fun, if it's not too hot. We'll have to see about that one.

We are doing sleep training with Drake, so I am DEAD tired. No more nursing him in the middle of the night, just using the binkie and soothing him back to sleep. I've shouldered most of the work this weekend, since I'm off and it's Eric's special weekend. I'm looking forward to tonight, when I shift some of the work back to Eric. I'm in desperate need of some rest. I feel like I did the first month of Drake's life. But this sleep training will all be worth it when he consistently sleeps from 8pm to 7am. That's my goal! And maybe one day, it'll even get stretched out to 8am. The last two mornings I've given in by 6:30 and nursed him. I really want to make it to 7am tomorrow! This kid has GOT to quit waking up at 5am.

Drake's two bottom teeth are still right below the gum. They are so sharp, and he no longer gets to naw on mommys fingers. I'll be sure to post when they finally pop through!
