I let the kids choose the colors they wanted for the frosting and after a few compromises we got blue, red and purple.
For all those worried mom's out there, no the food colors that I use do not stain (clothing or skin). They are the gel food colors that you get from JoAnn's or from Walmart in their cake decorating section.
My beautiful flowers that the sweetest man in the world gave to me! I love my husband SO much! Thank you baby.
It was a long day for me but I got A TON done in a short amount of time. I was very pleased with myself at the end of the day and was even able to go to bed early. So far today has been a great day too, besides not sleeping much last night because of a little squeaker who will remain unnamed!!! I'm thinking we need to do something about her not sleeping through the night pretty soon. I just haven't had the heart to let her cry herself back to sleep in the middle of the night (nor the ability since we have lived in places where other people would be affected by her crying than just us). But I think it has come to that point. She was sick for so long so I didn't mind getting up with her, but now it is time. I told Kelvin that he will have to stay up with me so I don't break the deal and get her and also for a little moral support. The Dr told us that she would be sleeping all night after only a couple nights of this. Hopefully she will learn fast and it will only be one night, but I have a stubborn child and she might just push it as far as she can. Frustrating! If anyone else has a better suggestion I would be more than happy hearing about it. Lydia will be 1 in a month and should be sleeping through the night by now. We might try this weekend or wait until next week when my parents go to Hawaii so they won't have to be bothered by it. Either way, I hope to be getting some more sleep soon so I can start getting up early and doing my workouts.

I will tell you that it is going to be crazy hard but DO IT and it will be worth it. She is old enough to cry herself back to sleep. Listen to your ipod if it will help you while she is crying. Sorry. It is worth it.
Ah yes, I have been where you are with the not sleeping issue. And then I did something I swore I wouldn't - I read a parenting book... Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems, by Richard Ferber. It surprisingly worked. I recommend you at least read the first few chapters, and the good news is, you can try out a sample for free on Amazon Kindle!! I'm sure it won't work for everyone, but it's a more modified cry it out solution, and Aidan caught on pretty easily. In any case, good luck. It's tough, but all of you will be happier once she fully sleeps through the night!
puntos para Gregory....muy lindo detalle enviar rosas a su amada esposita....muy bien
