Crib Minute. Today I am very thankful for "Crib Minute."

A few months ago, Jon created "Crib Minute." Basically it is time where we feel like Caleb needs some alone time. He isn't necessarily bad, needing discipline, and he isn't needing a nap. It is that fine line where he is acting tired and whiny and some alone time might just do the trick.

And he loves it! We put him in his crib anywhere from 5-20 minutes and give him some alone time. During "Crib Minute" he can have some books, his pacifier and his puppy. (I am convinced that he only like "Crib Minute" because of his obsession with his pacifier and puppy. Whatever works.)

Caleb loves "Crib Minute" and Mom and Dad love "Crib Minute" too. In fact, just 10 minutes ago, he came up to me and said, "Carry you, crib minute." Roughly translated two year old speak: Carry me upstairs for some crib minute!

As Caleb enjoys his alone time, I am enjoying some time reading blogs:)

Today, I am thankful for my husband and his chance to stay home from work. We pulled into the driveway last night and dumped everything in the house and went to bed.

I had to work today. He took Caleb to the library, bought me Subway for lunch, got dinner, did all of the laundry, had more Caleb time, gave Caleb a bath, dealt with my dog, and was simply an amazing husband. Thankful for him!

I am thankful that I am sleeping in my own bed, that I am home safe and sound, thankful for my rock star husband driving us home and keeping his cool, being safe, staying awake and the chance to have uninterrupted conversation.


But most of all, I am thankful for this smile...

So thankful for Chic Filet Play place....even if Caleb did get stuck and I had to climb up and get him. It broke up our drive a little and we were able to play before many more hours of driving!
