Rejection

Luke's been sick, so when he wakes up at night he screams (just for a little bit). Normally, he'll just be awake and root around to nurse, or just change position. Last night just after nursing him he was lying beside me asleep. A few minutes later, he started screaming. He crawled out from under the blanket and over into the co-sleeper, where he promptly stopped screaming and was asleep.

This is not the first time he's crawled away from me to go sleep out in the co-sleeper.

Hey Stephanie - Joseph just turned me on to your blog and I really love it!

I have a question about co-sleeping. We are co-sleeping with Jac but I never feel truly comfortable about how to adjust the blankets. It is cold here in Boulder just like SLC and we can't/don't keep the house warm enough to sleep without blankets. We have tried using three different blankets - one for me and one for Joseph and then one for Jac. I always worry somehow Jac is going to end up under someone's covers. How do you deal with this?

Now that Luke is pretty big (15 months), I don't worry so much about blankets. But when he was smaller, I'd usually sleep on my side. The arm on the mattress side would be over his head, and the other hand would hold the blanket down near his chest. Yes, I could sleep like that! I'll send you an e-mail with more info. :)

My sister's husband, Dean, got the most amazing video of our eclipse. We were so very lucky to have thin clouds for most of the period of totality. Jump ahead to 4:25 to hear the crowd as we head into totality.

Thanks, Emmett.

At the first week of their ski lessons, David dropped Emmett and Luke off at their classes.  Yesterday David was starting his class, though, so I took them to their classes.  There are a lot of classes that meet outside, so there are signs up for each class - the big kids meet by letters and the little kids meet by numbers.  Emmett is in class "I" and Luke is in class 11.  The alphabet signs were clearly visible as we approached, but the numbers were behind some trees so I turned to ask Luke which way we should go around them.  Emmett helpfully called out, "See those signs?  My class meets by the one with a single line on it!"  Um, thanks for describing the letter "I" in a way I can understand, Emmett!
