He's So Cute...Blah, Blah, Blah

A few weeks ago my brother called and told me that my blog is really boring. He said that my blog is just "Hayden is so cute; blah, blah, blah.

In attempts to change that, I decided to post this picture of my brother, Allen. Isn't he so cute?

My brother and I are very close in age (14 months to the day). When I was little I always had someone to play with even if my friends weren't around. Even though we had some great times together we also fought, A LOT! He had plenty of scratches from me and I got a bloody nose from him. Now he lives in Blanding. I wish he lived closer. I miss him and his family a lot.

Well, enough about Allen, now what should I do about my boring blog? Please let me know what would make my blog more enjoyable to read.

Bye Bye Binky

Hayden has only had a binky at night/nap time and during Sacrament meeting for about six months. I have been afraid that the longer he keeps it the more attached to it he is becoming.

When Hayden woke up on Saturday morning I asked him to throw his binky away. He said OK and put it in the Ziploc bag (in case Mommy changed her mind) and put it in the garbage. Then I got the binky out of my scripture bag and asked Hayden to throw it away. He quickly pulled it close to him and said, "Hayden's binky" over and over refusing to put it in the trash. I kept telling him that he is a big boy and he doesn't need it. After a few minutes he put it in the garbage and was off playing.

We were busy running errands all day Saturday and never put Hayden down for a nap. Saturday night when I put him in bed he asked for his binky and I reminded him we threw it away and it was all gone. He started saying, "All gone." He then lay down on the floor to check to make sure it was not under his bed. He cried for over an hour before he finally fell asleep.

As soon as we sat down in the chapel on Sunday he asked for his binky. Again, I reminded him we threw it away. He didn't ask for it again. No nap again Sunday.

When I put him in bed that night he asked for it again. We went through the same conversation and he again checked under his bed. He only cried five minutes.
