a cut above the rest

last night was a model night! lets do that more often, boys.
besides the harried rush to get home and get dinner on the table i would take that night every night! (can you tell i'm excited).
at 8pm i put Cash in bed, read some stories and said good night. he was tired but as i was leaving he asked me to stay. i told him that i had to go check on Cooper but if he couldn't fall alseep i would come back to see him. I didn't hear from him again and he slept all night. In. His. Bed.
Cooper cuddled up and slept in my arms from 8:30pm-10pm. At 10 i fed him a big ol' bottle and put him down (awake but very tired), he flipped over and slept until 3:30am - got up for a little snack and went back to sleep until 7am (when he woke up with a very poppy diaper). Cash came-a-knockin' at 6:30, we played in the playroom for a little bit and then headed off to school!
yay us!

although it wasn't all roses - Cash really likes scissors. he wants to use scissors all the time. he knows how to use them but i'm not comfortable with him using them without complete supervision and since the mornings are spent rushing all around the house i couldn't sit down with him and let him cut paper like he wanted. this made him cry but he does this thing now where he will cry and once he stops crying he will come to me and say, "i'm all better now mommy." then he'll talk about "i was crying and now i stopped and i'm all better." I think this is a pretty good thing.
