And we have a winner ...

First I want to apologize to my three entrants (sad, isn't it) because I just now got around to this.

We have a winner with 10 correct words. That winner is Jenn! Congratulations J. However, I think she may have had an unfair advantage because I had told her about one of the phrases just prior to this little contest.

The other two entrants got 7 and 6 correct words/phrases. I've decided that I'm going to send each of you a gift as well. I have Jenn's and Kmag's addresses, but I'll need drevas'. Please email me with your address.

And in case you're interested ... here's what I was able to decipher from the video (not in exact order).

• Turners (like Turner from Handy Manny)
• Swings
• Hammers
• Shower
• Don't want get cavities (not cowboys)
• Crazy bugs (a few times) (this was Jenn's unfair advantage)
• Dark
• ABCs
• Mommies (twice)
• Daddies
• Chairs
• Won't you sing
• Lights
• Muscle man (OK, technically that was after he was done singing)

Congratulations to my winner(s)!!

Progress report; Serenading at bedtime; Give-away!

We're very proud of Allen because since we implemented the "progress chart," Allen has slept all night in his bed FOUR times (woohooo Allen). If the stickers on the chart are any indication, I'm thinking Allen's going to be a non-conformist. He's not big on putting the stickers in the squares. It's enough to get them on the paper (the ones on the wall surrounding the chart are a result of one morning last week while I was in the shower). Though you can't tell, we've gotten two of those stickers two nights in a row, and we're working on three-in-a-row tonight.


As usual, we had a very amusing evening. I initially brought the camera upstairs for bath time so that I would have pictures for my blog. But, Allen is not one to disappoint, so we got a bonus video too. But first, here are the highlights of his post-bath dry-off.


Could my child get any cuter? I didn't think so either, until he started serenading us. I promise to send a gift from Joli to the person who can decipher the most words/phrases from this video. Oooh ... my first give-away -- how exciting. I'm not kidding either. Post your guesses in the comments, and I'll announce the winner next week.

Have a great week, and don't forget to enter to win my first give-away!!!

xoxo,
