Magic Tricks

So Kevin is still addicted to his pacifier. We hide them during the day, and Kevin asks for them at night. Gabe has started making them appear "magically" and Kevin gets the biggest kick out of it =). Well, one night we couldn't find them. We forgot to get them from Kevin when he woke up in the morning, and therefore, he had put them down somewhere and forgotten where. Gabe was at scouts with Branden and I was the lucky one that got to put Kevin to bed without his "uh ohs" as he calls them. I kept telling him we couldn't find them, and he told me to "magic them like daddy." He was so disappointed that I couldn't magically make them appear. Gabe helped me find them when he got home and Kevin was still awake so Gabe could "magic them" for him. Well today, we were looking for the windex. I looked under the kitchen sink and it wasn't there. I told Kevin I looked but it wasn't there, and he said, "mom - I can magic it - watch!" And I humored him, and he said his magic words, "abbra cadabbra - make the cleaner appear!" I opened the door thinking of what I was going to say because I was sure I had looked thoroughly before, and lo and behold , there was the windex hiding behind another cleaner. I turned to Kevin and said, "you did it!!!" and he looked so pleased with himself =). But now I have to wonder what we will do the next time when we really can't find something haha =).

I Am Officially Sleep Deprived =)

O.k. we have now gone two months without normal sleep. It is almost easier to just never sleep than it is to wake up after just a few hours of sleep and not be able to go back to sleep again until it is time to wake everyone else up. I feel like maybe I could have made it through med school after all =). What were we saying the other day Elizabeth? Sleep is for whimps? Sleep is overrated? Maybe if I wasn't so sleep deprived I could remember =). I am just super grateful that Sean is not colicky. He doesn't cry except for when he is hungry. So at least when I am not sleeping, I can truly enjoy this precious baby=)
