What a wonderful Christmas for our family. We spent Christmas eve with Todd's family, Christmas morning with just the four of us, and then Christmas night with my family. We all had such a great time. Nicolas was a little under the weather on Christmas eve, and didn't even stay up long enough to make Santa cookies pr reindeer food, but we covered it for him. Todd and I were challenged with on one of Grace's gifts, a trampoline with a bungee cord instead of springs, and a handle. It only two educated people 3 hours to put together! :-)
Our family gift this year was a Wii - I know, I said no video games, but Todd convinced me that this was different since we had to get active to use it. Well, we received it the day after Christmas and are now fans. I have to say it does challenge the coordination of everyone. Nicolas is learning a lot and Grace tries to mimic our actions. The only downside is that it is hard to play with a 2 year old attached to your leg. :-)
If anyone knows of any good family games, please let me know.
Also, I am searching for some advice. I am struggling with Grace's bedtime routine. She has never been a great sleeper or gone to bed easily. She still wakes up several times a night wanting more to drink (some night she can go through about 4 sippy cups). The only issue is that if we try to let her "cry it out" she cries until she pukes. Then we have to do the whole changing the sheets and bath routine. So I wind up laying there with her for at least an hour every night until she falls asleep. While I love the extra time with her, it is getting harder to stay with her that long, and Nicolas is feeling a tad bit rejected that I can't read to him at night anymore. Any suggestions to stop the puking?
