Megan likes to tell me she's going to be 3 on her birthday. "I 2 now, but I'll be 3 on my birfday."

Is it sad that Quinn already has thicker hair than Megan and me?

Megan's Big Girl Bed

Megan is now in a big girl bed. A little over a week ago she started climbing out her her crib constantly. We put her to bed, she climbed out, we put her back, she climbed out, we put a baby gate up in her door and she climbed over it. This went on for 4 and a half hours. Her normal 7 o'clock bedtime turned into an 11:30 bedtime. So that weekend we made the switch. The first night she did well. Each night after that got progressively worse and again she wasn't going to bed until 11:30. Though I think I may have found the solution. Megan gets put in her bed, when she gets out we take her blankie away for 10 mins. After the blankie time out, she gets back into bed and goes right to sleep. So now her bedtime is back to normal. ...for now.

Meg her first night in her big girl bed. A couple of nights ago Megan told Nathan, "Daddy, this is a big girl bed. You are a boy. Get out."

The Zoo

We went to the zoo since Friday was sunny and beautiful. It was an interesting trip since Megan had bouts of crabbiness and Quinn wanted me to hold him. We didn't see many animals since the zoo was packed. (And I do mean packed since the zoo later recorded having over 30,000 visitors on Friday.) But overall we had fun.

Thank goodness for my mei tai. Now I can actually get things done and still hold him.

Megan outside watching the gorillas. She liked watching the big gorillas a lot and started asking to see them as soon as we were driving to the zoo. But Megan being Megan, she kept telling us that she didn't want the gorillas to hold her. She only wanted to look at them. And it was our job to make sure the gorillas didn't hold her.
