"please"

He finally did it!! This morning Breeson FINALLY signed "please". At first I was in shock, but then he did it again. Jamie said he's done it a couple more times today too! It made my heart so happy. We've been doing it for several months now. I'm not quite sure when we started, but there are times I wanted to just give up b/c I thought he was being defiant and was just refusing to do it. Because he mimicks us and picks up on other things so fast, I thought he was just messing with us. Which I guess he still could have been. But I don't care. I'm just glad our hard work is starting to pay off. It's nice to see the "fruit" from our hard labor!

I ran 4 miles over lunch break today. I was able to keep a 9:30 pace; it's no world record, but I'm okay with it. I just need to keep increasing by 1/2 mile increments each week so I can be ready for my 10K (BolderBoulder) at the end of the month.

I babysat for a friend on Saturday night. Noah is 6 months old. Jamie had to work that night so I did it solo. Well, I guess Breeson did "help" me. He did really well with Noah. He was VERY interested in him and wanted to keep touching his head and give him hugs. The only meltdown was when I gave Noah his bottle and Breeson realized he didn't have one. So as I was feeding Noah in my arms, I was keeping Breeson back with my legs. Other than that though, we had a good night. They wore each other out that night so that was definitely the nice part about having 2 around.
