Can't Sleep Elmo will Eat Me

On Sunday we went to the Babies R Us store closing sale and we bought Matthew a toddler bed. It is cute and has Elmo on it. Tony put together the bed on Sunday afternoon and Matthew slept in it for the first time on Sunday night. He seemed to be very interested in the bed at first and even lied down in it without being prompted. However, when I checked him at 3:30AM he was sleeping on the floor, so I picked him up and put him back in his bed. When I checked on him again at 6AM he was lying on the floor again with his diaper half off. He got up at 7AM and walked out of the bedroom holding his diaper in his hand. I wouldn't consider his first night in his toddler bed to be successful, but it wasn't too bad since he woke up in a good mood this morning.

Matthew's Colorado Trip Memoirs, Part 1

Matthew spent six days in Telluride Colorado this past week August 23rd-Aug 28th. We had a terrific time. I am still sifting through the 1000+ photos that Tony took (no I am not exaggerating) to find the ones that "tell a story". I will start off with Matthew's first Gondola ride. Telluride is a beautiful ski resort town in southwest Colorado. We stayed in Mountain Village which is a free gondola ride away from Telluride. We enjoyed this feature so much we used it at least twice every day of our trip. Matthew now thinks that we should be able to travel everywhere by gondola.
