Playing in the rain.

I can not believe it! Tanner is napping in his big boy bed. He has always been a great sleeper since birth but ever since we have moved him into his big boy bed he has not been napping. I was still making him go in his bed every afternoon for an hour and have quiet time but he never would fall asleep. I knew he was tired. I could not tell if he was just getting close to dropping his naps (he does turn 3 in November) or he just was not napping because all the excitement of a new room and new bed. Well I am happy to say after lunch today at exactly 1:30 he went down no problem. He is sleeping soundly. YAY for the little things I can findly make time for my blog. He sleeps so beauitifully at night. Even in his big boy bed he waits for me to come get him in the morning before coming out. At least so far. :) So while the house is clean and quiet and I am relaxing after a wonderful morning at MOPS I thought I would blog. I wanted to write about our playdate Friday night. Aimee' has been such a great friend and our boys are the best of buds. In the fall my husband is the FCA Chaplin for North Marion High School and he is always at football games on Friday nights. I have tried going and taking Tanner but he is still so young and has no interest in sitting still and watching the game and there is entirely too much going on for me to go just to chase him around all night. So we stay home. Aimee's husband is a personal trainer and has clients on Friday nights. So a couple of times now we have gotten together and had dinner and playtime with the kids. It has been a blast. Tanner and Asher are only a few weeks apart and they truly love each other. We were going to meet at the park last Friday and then grab a bite to eat but instead we ended up coming back to my house after picking up some chicken and sides from publix. Aimee' has two little ones. Aleena is almost 5 and Asher is almost 3. Well it was raining. After dinner the kids kept begging us to go play outside. Finally Aimee' looked at me and said "What kind of parents are we if we can not let our kids go play in the rain?" And so we did. They were having so much fun!!! I tried to get some pictures but my camera kept fogging up and getting wet. So I only got a couple. It was so fun watching them play and see how much they were enjoying themselves. The slide was so slick from the rain and the kids would FLY down and laugh the whole time. There is nothing like hearing small children laugh. They were having a ball. I love getting together with these guys. After the fun in the rain we threw them all in the tub and put on a movie. Great memories with great friends!!
