Tyler’s New Tube & Misc Pictures Today

So Tyler was full of energy after his bath tonight so I got the tube that my parents bought him from IKEA out and decided to make the spare bedroom his playroom.  How cool are his spiderman pajamas by the way?

IKEA

So I know this is going to sound really odd but prior to Friday night I had never been to an IKEA.  My parents wanted to get Tyler a little table for him to do activity stuff on and I have to say that place is crazy big isn’t it?  I took a picture of the table in the store and I know Tyler is going to love it.  It was funny because by the end of my visit my parents would say “that is going to go on your blog now isn’t it”?  Even funnier when they would say “um that isn’t going on your blog is it”?  This is my life people, exciting stuff.  🙂  I also got a coffee press for a whopping $13.00 which I can’t wait to try.

New Tyler Pictures – 11/23/07

Tyler Wondering If He Should Eat Another Bite Of His Banana

I have been “cameraless” for a few weeks so expect to get inundated with pictures and videos for a while until I can get it out of my system again OK?  I am so thrilled with the new Canon PowerShot SD1100 8 megapixel camera.  It was only $150 on Amazon and I picked up an 8GB SD card for $17.  The old camera was a 4 Megapixel Sony and had 128MB memory sticks so watch out world I can take all kinds of pictures now without any limitation.  It also has the ability to take 640×480 video which I am going to love.

Get Your Kids To Sleep On Their Own

My son Tyler hasn’t slept in his crib since he was probably five or six months old.  He is now 20 months old and I usually let him crash in the living room around 8-9pm and take him to bed with me when I get tired.  Tonight I did get him to sleep in the living room but he woke up and I was determined to get him to sleep in his crib.  I probably watched one too many episodes of Nanny 911 but I was like “you know what it is rediculous he doesn’t sleep in his crib”!  On Nanny 911 they tell you to put your kid in thier room and stand outside of it for 15-20 minutes and let them cry.  Trust me that isn’t as easy as it sounds but after him screaming for 20 minutes he went to sleep (pretty amazing).  If you have young kids give it a try.  It is tough love but you and your kids need your own bed for their safety and your sanity!  🙂  Score one for Dad…
