Random bullet points.

* Brielle really wants to be Ashley.  For months now, she has made Mike & I and Brooklyn for that matter, call her Ashley on a daily basis.  Guess what Brielle is now telling me she wants to be for Halloween?  You got it, Ashley.  I've tried to figure out who Ashley is: is she someone in her preschool class, or is it a girl on tv or in a movie she's watched, is she some imaginary person she's made up, but I still have no answers.  What I know about Ashley: she lives in a house, she likes to wear skirts and dresses, she isn't on a tv show or in a movie she is just a person she's never met.  Um, okay?  I guess you can be Ashley for Halloween, should be an easy one.  I'm trying to talk her into being Jessie form Toy Story since we have the hand me down costume, but no luck yet.  It would be weird for her to be "Ashley" for Halloween.  I'd have too much explaining her costume to do.

* Breaker is the BEST best sleeper right now.  He falls asleep on his own, in his crib, while I lay him down wide awake.  It's awesome.  He is my first baby to do this.  I will admit though, it's totally hard not to just rock and snuggle him while he's sleepy because that's the only time he'll lay down his head and cuddle.  I just have to remind myself what the girls were like at this age and how I had to spend half of my life at that point trying to get them down for a nap without me right there with them.

* I am an addict.  Seriously.  I started a diet last week that involves no sugar.  I cannot handle it!  All I think about is a homemade brownie or cookie - and I'm not kidding.  I'm miserable, but I need to lose baby weight and not just from this baby, from the one before that, and the one before that.  It sucks.  That's all there is to it.

* I also think I have a head sweating problem.  I rarely sweat anywhere else, always from my head - isn't that weird?  And I sweat like a man - when I work out, I am drenched...it's gross.  I never understand how people only wash their hair once a week.  Either they never work out, or they work out and shower but don't wash their hair which, just the though of that grosses me out.

* I can't get enough of Breaker smiling and laughing.  I love this stage.  He is into peek a boo right now and if you scare him a little, he thinks it's hilarious.  He will cry if you scare him a lot though, and let me tell you - he gets scared at Daniel's football games when anything exciting happens on the field and the crowd cheers.  He screams bloody murder every time people cheer, I feel kind of bad for subjecting him to that but I know he's got to just get used to it.

Ha Kim...you are so funny. How lucky your son is a good sleeper-YAY for that. Just wanted to say hi, and tell you I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post...Brielle makes me laugh. I say dress her up as Ashley, then when she is older and sees a picture from that halloween she will be like, mom why didn't you dress me up, and you can tell her the story of Ashley...super cute.

2 thoughts: Brynley went through an "Ashley" stage too! Maybe it's just a nice name? Lol, that is hilarious. Ashley was brynley's bff for about a year. HA HA.

I can't take out sugar either. Whenever you tell me I can't have something... anything... it's all i want. You don't have to take out sugar to reach goals. I have my clients limit it to 100-150 calories a day of treats (includes, chips, sugar, and other treats - not just candy). That is enough to get your fill but not enough to ruin progress.

Just a thought for you! Good luck!

That whole Ashley thing is hilarious! I wonder where she got that from. She is so funny.

And don't feel guilty about the sugar addiction I am the same exact way! Especially when you consciously take it out of your diet it's like all you can think about! ha

We are going to come down to see you guys next week and to support Mike in the marathon! Whoot Whoot!
