That is the time Diego has been waking up for the past two mornings. Not a good thing. We try to ignore him but eventually he will start yelling “mamapapa!” or “papamama!” I guess one of us will eventually get up and get him. I bring him to bed with us and he will stay still for about 30 minutes. Then playtime starts. He goes to sleep at 8 PM the night before. I hope this is temporary. Keeping my fingers crossed!

First Movie Experience…
We ended up in Milwaukee for Easter. We went to breakfast. Diego saw the Easter Bunny there. Not a very impressive EB but at least he was not frightened.
After breakfast, we (the group) decided to go to the movies to see the Meet the Robinsons movie. It was Diego’s first movie at the movie theater. I was a little apprehensive about taking him because well you know, little kids and movies usually don’t mix. It was the first show, it was a kid’s movie and there wasn’t that many people in the theater. So far so good. Diego hadn’t taken a nap yet so we thought that perhaps he might sleep through it.
With Diego situated on my lap, the lights dim and the previews started. Lots of new kid movies coming up (Underdog, Shrek the Third, Ratatouille, & Nancy Drew). Then the light go out and a Mickey Mouse cartoon starts. MM is so cute! Then cue the movie. It was great. Diego was so interested in it he must’ve forgotten to take the nap I was hoping for. He switched laps between Eric and I a few times but other than that, he seemed to enjoy it. Every time someone would get into a car, he would wave and say “bye!”
The only drama during the movie was that he over peed his diaper. He soaked himself and me. Eric ran out to get his dry clothes. So during the movie, we had to get Diego redressed. Diego did not even complained. 🙂
Overall, the movie experience was an A plus. Great job Diego!!!
A Very Good Friday…
I am still tired from yesterday. We (well, not so much me but I helped when I could) started cooking since 7 am and did not stop until 2 pm. The menu included Lima Bean Soup, Shrimp Cocktail, and Stuffed Peppers with rice. It was a lot of food. The good think almost everyone made it: my parents, my ILs, my aunt & family, oldest brother and youngest nephew, and surprise guests: Eric’s grandparents. Everyone eat a little of everything. We had a little bit of leftovers that we ate today. We still have Lima Bean Soup and some stuffed peppers left but everything else is gone. That is always a good thing.
Diego on the other hand came out ahead. He got some Little People presents. He got the Little People™ Cars, Trucks, Planes, and Trains book, Little People Books and a Little People The Big Parade Interactive Sound Book. And he also got some $$$. Lucky kid! =)
I am not sure if we are still going to Milwaukee tomorrow. It is going to hit 40 degrees tomorrow but up there it is only going to hit 38. Still cold. Brrrr! Whatever ever Eric says it will be fine with me.
Bed…
This is what Diego asked me after I read him a book today. He pointed to his crib, said “Bed” and then said “bye-bye!” This is from a kid who does not look forward to bed on most days. Just getting him into his room can be a challenge. 🙂
I gave him a kiss, placed him in his crib and said good night. That was it! It wasn’t even 7:30 pm. Boy, I just hope tomorrow it will be the same. Sure, keep dreaming Angie. 😛
Diego’s New Outfit…
It was a great day today. According to the weather newscast, it was 79 degrees today. We just hung out on our balcony. Diego got to wear his new outfit. Check it out!
Enjoy!
Cloth Diaper – Night 4
Diego woke up wet again. Nothing too major since Eric was the one who got him this morning. He did say the crib was not wet but his pants and onesie were. The am throwing the towel on these BG 2.0. I thought they were going to help but it just caused more headaches. Maybe I will investigate the Bummies Wraps instead.
Tonight Diego is sleeping with his overnight.
Cloth Diaper – Night 3
Diego woke up wet. More than yesterday but a lot less than Wednesday. In his crib there was a wet spot. I think I am giving up on these diapers. I wonder if there are better ones for him. I don’t want to stuff the diaper any more since they just his size and don’t want to make him uncomfortable. At least I tried. =(
I guess it is time to throw the white flag in the ring and return the diapers I bought. Maybe they have something better. If not, then back to the Overnights.
Cloth Diaper – Night 2
Diego woke up a little damp. His lounge pants and onesie were the victims. The crib was dry so that was a good thing. The diaper was soaked but I think it did its job. After getting some advice yesterday, I wrapped the insert with another cloth diaper before putting it on. I think that helped a lot.
Eric is still not convinced that cloth diapers are a good thing. He just doesn’t want to mess with them at all. My thing is that he hasn’t even changed his cloth diaper these past two days. I am the one doing this. I am going to continue doing this for another 5 days. If it is more trouble than it is worth, then I am returning them. But so far, the diapers aren’t the trouble, it is Eric who is. So I wonder if I can return him and will I get my money back? 😉
Cloth Diaper – Night 1
It wasn’t so good.
Diego woke up at 12:30 am crying. The poor kid looked like someone dumped a bucket of water in his crib. But it is my fault though. He went to Little Gym yesterday from 6:30 to 7:15 pm. He drank 10 oz of his juice concoction plus whatever he had before we got home from work. I try really hard not to give him any liquids after 6 pm but this is the only exception for the week. I do think he would have gotten soaked even if he was wearing his Overnights so no negative thoughts towards the BGs just yet.
Tonight I will put the BGs on again but I will put extra padding in there. I hope it won’t be as bad as last night. So tonight will be the first day of normal use. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
My Name is Bagel…
For a couple of weeks, I have been trying to teach Diego how to say “My name is Diego.” He gets the “My name” down pretty well but his name is a problem right now. Eric swears he is saying “My name is bagel,” but I say no. Why? Because in Diego’s mind he is saying Diego but his daddy does not understand that. =) I actually think it funny too because he really does sound like he is saying “My name is bagel.”
Must get a recording of this soon. My poor baby! =D
