He very rarely makes it through a night in his crib. I haven't figured out why I have the only 14 month old in the world who doesn't sleep through the night alone. He's codependant, I think.

He's begun to sleep sideways and he kicks a lot. I don't mind until he lands a good swift hard kick in my stomach. I'm not sure how to handle this because I increasingly feel like Ryan should really be sleeping in his own bed. No one seems to have any tips on what to do and I'm a little lost on the whole thing. Some experts call it attachment parenting and say it's loving and nurturing but how much longer is it really healthy for Ryan to be sleeping in my bed.

He's discovered tantrums which adds a whole new dimension to our relationship and the newest issue of contention seems to be putting clothes on. I can never decide when to fight these battles and when to just let it go.

This parenting thing is getting harder and harder everyday.

I'm going to go try to convince Ryan to put some clothes on. Hopefully this time, we'll get through it without tears.

I'm spending Mother's Day with John and Kevin. Try not to die from the shock. It's our first family outing. Ryan seems excited about seeing Daddy and we're working on getting him to wrap his little mouth around the name Kevin. So far no, luck but he seems to know exactly who Kevin is and when I mention him, Ryan looks up at me and asks Daddy?. He knows Kevin and Daddy go hand in hand but doesn't know exactly how.

I don't know if I really have anything else to say.
