No Cervesas. Just Swinging!

No Cervesas this Cinco de Mayo. Just swinging. 8 HOURS of swinging! LOL.

Kyle woke up this morning ready to play on his new swings; and play he did-ALL DAY! We went outside at 10am, we came in for the day at 6pm. Kyle voluntarily got off the swing MAYBE 7 times today and most of that was after 3:45pm when his cousins and friends from across the street came over. I think the LONGEST amount of time he was off the swing was maybe 20 minutes. He was on the swing for so long that when he first got off at 3:45 he couldn't walk. He literally looked like a drunken sailor trying to walk over to his cousins to say "hello".

I tried EVERYTHING to get him off the swing. I went inside to make lunch for him and Hailey and he sat waiting for my return. He sat on the swing while I fed Hailey. He continued to sit on the swing through lunch. I even had offered to bring lunch to him to eat while he sat on the swing, and he was so busy sitting there letting his little legs hang he refused to eat OR drink milk and he LOVES his milk. I have never seen him say "no" to milk. I had to carry him in kicking and screaming to change his diaper.

In the morning and then again in the afternoon he even started falling asleep on the swing. With his morning nodding off I tried to bring him in the house and that was a HUGE mistake. When he began to fall asleep again this afternoon I knew he had to wake up..otherwise he would be up all night, again.




The whole point to playing outside is to wear those babies out so they fall asleep early and ideally sleep all night. We will see what tonight brings. I know 8 hours of swinging tired me out. HOLY SWING! Goodnight =)
