Chancho

We have had a lot of bad weather this last week and were stuck inside. Chandler hates being inside and spends most of the time getting into stuff and driving his mother crazy. In an attempt to make being inside fun we have been trying some new things.
My friend from high school had this idea on her blog. It's called muffin tin Monday, or any day that you are stuck inside and the kids are crazy. What you do is give your child lunch in a muffin tin. I gave Chandler a sting cheese, some watermelon, grapes, crackers, pickles, popcorn and a sippy cup of milk. All you do is divide the food into each muffin tin and eat lunch somewhere other than the table. We enjoyed our lunch in Chandler's room on a blanket. He loved it! We have started a chore chart for Chandler that he is starting to like. I just printed off some paper with the chores and put magnets on the back. When one is complete he gets to move it to the completed side of the fridge. They are pretty easy and stuff he already enjoys doing like unloading/loading the dishwasher, watering the plants, and picking up his toys.

A few days ago I had just finished cleaning his room and had his bed made to perfection. As I was finishing up in the bathroom I could hear him playing in his room with the door shut, I guess he likes his privacy. After a minute there was only silence, knowing that he was either choking or doing something he knows he shouldn't I ran in his room to find him laying wrapped up in his blanket. He had climbed into his bed and was just hanging out. After this he decided that he was not going to stay in his crib or his room. A few days later he was climbing out of his bed and opening his door to tell us he was not going to nap. So now we have taken the front of the crib off and letting him sleep in a big boy bed. We have not had a nap for 4 days. He is cute and a little silly but we love him.
