Close Look at Toddler Sleep Styles

In Example A, you will see a young child who knows she is tired and comfortably curls up in her bed to nap during her afternoon rest time.











In Example B, you will see a young child who tried with all his will power to NOT fall asleep during his afternoon rest time, but couldn't quite hold out until his mother came in to tell him rest time was over.

A Style All Her Own

Happy Anniversary!

February 15 was Birdie's first anniversary of becoming a member of the Hunt family!

She has been a great addition, and I am so thankful to our friend Angie and her cousin Gretchen who helped us find her! She is so sweet and fun, but actually quite low maintenance . . . very important for our relatively big and busy family.

Not only do we enjoy her, but she has helped fill the void left by our Jersey-girl and has been emotionally therapeutic for both Robbie and Alexa.

We're all glad you are here, Birdie!

Question:
What did Rachel make in Dallas that might make many men jealous?


(Tune in tomorrow for the answer.)

Camp Cotton

One of the kids' favorite days in Dallas was the last full one. January 1st was the last day before game day as well as Day 7 at the hotel. For anyone with children who have stayed in a hotel for a week, you will understand the significance of that statement. We really didn't spend much time in our rooms, but still a week away from home starts to wear on a person.

So, here the Cotton Bowl hosts "Camp Cotton" -a day dedicated to the kids which helps everyone get through one last day.

The activities/events included: a caricaturist, face painter, balloon artist, Critter Man, airbrush tattoo-ist, and a Magician. A couple of them were there for just an hour-long show, but the others were there for multiple hours so everyone got a chance to have a turn. I will show our caricatures (some better than others) another day, but I will post some of the other photos now.

Cole's hand with a shark.

Robbie got an OSU painted on his face; Rachel, a butterfly; Alexa, a mermaid.

Robbie participating in the Critter Man's show. He handled it like a pro- no worries from this boy. He keeps a cool head even under pressure as he answered all of the guy's question right about the snake while it was wrapped around his neck.


Rachel getting her tattoo - a horse named "Bullet", of course.

Robbie is the only other one who got a tattoo- his was a dragon on his upper arm.

Alexa with her Ariel balloon.

Rachel who waited in line as well wanting a flower, quickly changed her mind when she saw Alexa's mermaid and ended up getting the same as well.
