A week of firsts ...

We had our first trip to the dentist this week. That is Christopher playing with the blocks under the table. Already trying to hide. He was actually very well behaved for the dentist. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of him in the chair because he sat in my lap.

He lost a little patience at the end, but all in all a good report, besides three chipped teeth.

We also had our first Tiny Tots class this past weekend, we weren't able to get any pictures, because I forgot the camera. But, I don't know that any would have turned out because he didn't stop moving the entire time.

It was just our luck that the other three little girls in his class were shy and stayed stuck to their mom's legs almost the entire time and our little social butterfly was running around the entire place like he owned it. Hopefully, the excitement will come down a little bit next week or I'm going to need a nap after each class.

We also went bowling for the first time. He pushed the ball twice down the ally, but neither one made it to the end. He ended spending most his time in the arcade with Granddad pretending to play the games.

First trip to the Milwaukee Zoo 2010

We took our first trip to the Zoo over Memorial Day Weekend and Christopher really got into it. He loved riding the ponies and every animal we saw when we left he would say "Bye, giraffe" or "Bye, hippo" It was super cute. We were even able to let him out of the stroller and he held our hands and walked along with us. It was a great time, except the 90 degree heat.

Hopefully, this will be the first of many trips this summer.

New room, new bed

It's official we no longer have a guest bedroom. We have Christopher's room and the baby's room. We moved Christopher into his new room and his big boy bed over Memorial Day weekend.

It was a pretty easy transition. I thought we would be in for a big fight, but it took him about 30 minutes to go to sleep for his first nap and then about 15 at night.

We are all still adjusting as he does get up at night a few times and call for us to come to his room before he falls asleep, but he gets back in his bed by himself and just wants us to tuck him in again.

The mornings have been rough because he gets up at 5:30 a.m. now every morning. Hopefully, this is only a phase that doesn't last much longer.

I think he has only fallen out twice, which seems a little impossible as there is only about a 12 inch opening, but somehow my clumsy son has managed to do it.
