Things are definitely looking up in the Life and Times of William. He had a "Five Awesome" day at school today (even had a good day yesterday though Alex wasn't at school!) AND, I think I have solved the nighttime mystery. As you may, or may not, know Wm is horribly afraid of thunderstorms. Apparently, he was afraid he thunder at night (it could be a plane overhead, a car door closing outside, etc) and then would freak out and wake up in a panic. So, we told him that we PROMISE if there is a thunderstorm, in that ONE instance, he will be allowed to sleep in our bed. But if there is no thunderstorm, he has to have good sleeps in his own bed. This has worked like a charm! The whole family has had two wonderful nights' sleep in a row! We show Wm the weather radar before bed so he can verify it is stormless - and then he sleeps perfectly.
Steve works this weekend, so Wm and I will be on our own. I told Wm that we can do something fun and suggested the zoo or COSI. Wm immediately screamed "LEGO STORE!" I told him we were just there and I'm not driving to Easton again. So he thinks for a minute and then screams, "TARGET LEGO AREA!!!!!" He is obsessed.
But the nice part of Steve working all weekend is that he was off today and we got to go out and have a super nice lunch together at Cap City. I'm sure, however, that the lunch will seem very far away (and totally not worth it) while I languish in the Lego isle of Target on Saturday solo.
