Best Night EVER!!!

YEAH!!!



It was a GREAT night last night. I am sure it won't happen again tonight, but that is okay. We visited with family that came from North Dakota. My aunt Brenda and cousin Jan are in town for a different family wedding. We haven't seen them since our wedding so we are excited to spend some time with them and introduce them to Brandon. We had dinner and then Rob went home with Brandon and gave mom a few hours off and to help the family make home made cupcakes. It was a nice few hour break from Brandon even though all I could think about was him and missed him. I got home and he was laying in bed with dad just chatting. I took a risk of just putting him in his bed still awake. I decided I would try it but thought Rob was wacko and there was no way it was going to work. Well....I will admit it...I was WRONG!

I laid him down and he was still wide awake. He chatted to himself for a while and eventually fell asleep. He ate at 9:30 and I was waiting for him to wail to eat again. He didn't need to eat and fell asleep. He woke up at 2:30 to eat and again at 4:30am. He was up for 10 minutes and fell right back to sleep and slept well. He slept SO well and let mom and dad sleep too. I can't believe it. I fed him at 7am and he wanted to nap more and let me shower and get ready for the day. I had to wake him to get him ready for the day and he wasn't happy about that.

Today we went to the Mall of America (his first trip) with the out of towners. We were there for a few hours and he did great. He only cried when he was hungry otherwise he did great. Tonight is a fun Memorial Day BBQ with lots of family and friends. We are looking forward to it.
Especially since mom and dad are so well rested after a great night.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
