Early Weekend

            Today is the last day of summer before school starts again so they gave the guys the day off. Yesterday was Diversity Day at the Spangdahlem Base and we went to that. So all that alot of the military members were assigned to do yesterday was to at least attend that then have the rest of the day to themselves. So we got home yesterday around two and spent the day cleaning, watching movies, and trying to decide what to make for dinner... Drew took a nap and I really wished that I could have too! It was really hard to keep myself awake come evening time, seeing that the night before I only got like 2 hrs of sleep.
           I have been reading this book that a friend let me borrow called, "Good Night, Sleep Tight." It has step by step how to directions of how to get your baby to sleep on thier own, and thru the night. It has different plans of how to do it according to thier age. I personally am not going to try it until we get to the States, then that way we are not in apartments bothering neighbors. Andrew is not just a cryer, but a screamer too! And the book tells you to keep a journal on how and when they takes naps, eat and go to bed. And I did that for like one day, hehe. The reason being is because the next day he was just in such a good mood all day and never took a nap! But he went to bed early and stayed asleep the whole night! So what have I been doing since then? Thats right! He has been doing so good without a nap that I have just been going this week without them to see how it is. And let me tell you! The full night worth of sleep is good for me and him! He will wake like at 6 when his Daddy leaves for work and he will nurse and then go back to sleep. So he went from nursing what seemed like 50 times a night to nursing him to go to sleep and then just once more throughout the night.
             Yes he sleeps in our room. We have our queen size bed and then our full size bed next to it. And he sleeps on the full. Weird I know, but someone gave us the queen and we are keeping the full for a guest bed but we only live in a two bedroom apartment. (I am SOOO EXCITED to get in a house when we move to Minot!!!) It will be a long process before we get into a house there but it will be worth it in the end.
            We will be moved to Temp Housing on the Spangdahlem Base towards the end of October. In mid November we will fly a commercial plane to Atlanta and then Andrew and I will call North Carolina home for a few months. The reason being is, they are shipping our car to Atlanta and why I do not know... It will be the middle of the winter and we will not be able to drive it up to North Dakota until Spring. And we are more than likely going to be on a LONG waiting list for on base housing. So we figured instead of ALL of us being cooped in a hotel room for several months we decided that it's be best to just stay in NC and Drew be the only one. So Andrew Spanky and I will be staying with Drew's Mom. Which will be great because his family has only been able to spend one week with him throughout Andrew's whole 18 months!
            Well I better get off of here. I am about to babysit for a family who Dad is about to deploy. I thought it'd be nice to give the Mom and Dad a whole day alone before he leaves.
