Justin woke up a lot last night. I brought him back to his bed. I laid with him and he was so movey. He said the rain kept on waking him up and he wanted to go to my bed. I just gave in as I was so tired. Early morning he was awake so I just took him downstairs and cuddled. I finally just sat with him and watched TV. He finally told me his ear was bothering him. Nikki was delighted to see the TV on when she came down. Justin wanted to play Memory again. I had the kids start signing their Valentine’s for their class. I am so impressed how Justin is signing his name these days. All of a sudden time caught up with us and it was time to go to Jeremy’s birthday party. Luckily on the way there we didn’t hit any traffic. I wish they lived closer as my kids really like Jeremy and John. Nicole and Justin were loving all his toys. Their favorites were the musical instruments and the binoculars. They had fun playing with all the toys. Due to rain though the kids had to be inside, even the pinata was done inside. I was so terrified Nik or Justin would swing the bat through a window. They got to play pass the present. They passed the present and when the music stopped the person who had it had to take off one layer of the paper. Nicole was really sad she didn’t get to take off of a layer, but she needs to learn not everyone could get a turn. Hard thing for a little kid to understand, especially this day in age where all kids get trophies, for ex. They played musical chairs too, so cute. Justin didn’t stand a chance when he and an older kid were left. I was so impressed as the older child gave Justin the prize. We stayed while Jeremy was opening presents. Nicole couldn’t wait for Jeremy to open her present. She loved watching him open them and wanted to help him bring them over to where he was opening them. We had some traffic on the way home. But the kids saw a rainbow. We came home and played memory. Justin is pretty needy and cuddly today; just seems a little tired from being up last night. After dinner we let them watch TV and have a rest then headed upstairs. Justin was tired, so we all went to my bed and read a ton of books. I just kept on reading until Justin fell asleep. Daddy and I visited with Nicole together. It was fun. We asked her a bunch of what if questions she loved it.
