Rubber Duck

My son really likes Bert and Ernie. One of their Hulu video posts contains the Rubber Duck song and he and Dad were singing that together before bed tonight. Quinn also loves singing the ABC's with me now. He has sections that he is able to sing with me and he waits anxiously for those moments of unison. It's quite adorable and I'll have to record him singing. Tonight Quinn is sleeping with his Dad in the big bed. I suppose the main goal is for Quinn not to sleep next to me, so even though this means that I'll be sleeping in Quinn's Star Wars bed, I'll roll with it:) Tomorrow, our idea is to have me disappear in the evening and try a night without me. Perhaps Quinn heard about this plan and is taking it upon himself to control the terms of the arrangement. Or, maybe he knows that the big bed is much more comfortable than his own. Despite having already spent $100 on his mattress, I do think we're going to have to upgrade it, especially if I'm going to be spending additional time there.

Lately, our pajamas are "jamas". We were really into Kung Fu Panda for a bit and called that the Big Bear movie. But, we're removing that from the rotation now that he's swinging at people and impersonating battle scenes. We are also going to need to reign in the Star Wars. Poor stuffed George felt the pain of Quinn's remote light saber tonight. Earlier today, Quinn hit his stuffed George and when Grandma asked why, he told her that George had pushed him. OH my.

Have I mentioned that my son loves ice cream and that he calls it cream? Last week we went to Izzy's and enjoyed a scoop and then we were off to Choo-CHoo Bob's where we had a lovely time. This week we kept the post Jo-J's high jinks to a minimum and we also had a swimming free week. There's a two week break between sessions and so we'll have this coming week of spring break off as well.

I'd love to write that I'm going to spend oodles of extra time with Quinn this coming week while I'm off school but unfortunately, I'll be doing my capstone. In the end, it will mean a better financial life for the family and Quinn certainly needs us to have our feet under us. Another guy at Luke's work was laid off this week and it feels foreboding...
