Yesterday Brady was being so good all day for me. He has had some trouble sleeping at night while Aaron has been gone-that is my conclusion anyway. He wakes up at like 3 or 4 am and wants to sleep in my bed with me. He has never done that-even as a baby. So I guess he might just be missing Daddy in another way. I eventually convince him to sleep in his bed and go back to my bed.
So I told him on Thursday night if he went to bed and didn't wake up in the night that he could sleep with me on the air mattress on Friday night (the kid loves the air mattress-what kid doesn't?). Which he did! Yay! Then I sweetened the deal by telling him if he was good all day Friday we could watch a movie and eat popcorn on the air mattress before bed. I knew we would be running all around town, well not running-driving, to get some things for Super Saturday next week and it's so much easier when he is cooperating.
So he was good and we had a little pajama/popcorn/movie/sleepover last night. Just the 2 of us! It was fun. (But I did not sleep that well since we were on an air mattress and Brady rolls around a lot! Oh well!)
I remember back a couple years ago before Brady was born, Aaron and I used to do the same thing. Blow up the air mattress and lay on it for many hours into the early mornings watching episode after episode of all of the seasons of "24" on DVD. Sorry Aaron! I have a new little man to watch TV with on the air mattress with while you are away. You can join us when you get back! We'll make it a new family tradition with Brady now too! :)

That sounds like so much fun! What a great idea, a fun reward for him, and you! He is such a cute little guy and growing up very fast.
That is just about the sweetest thing! My favorite is his little pillow. What a neat idea, and you're lucky that you have a little boy to do that with. I know you miss Aaron, but I'll bet it's nice to have Brady.
Samantha and I did that while Chris and BJ were at the father/son campout! SO MUCH FUN!!
You are so fun Cells!
