After getting back from St. George lets just say there was a lot of laundry that needed to be done. Pike is always the ruler of fresh laundry out of the dryer. He is the black rectangle in the middle.
Ian also had a performance in school this week and did amazing!!! They sang many of the songs they have been learning throughout the year and even did a dance number.As soon as they brought out their canes/sticks all of the parents gasped. Yes, us included. Give a bunch of kids a stick and you are bound to have a sword fight. Thankfully they all did great! Sorry the video files are too large so they will have to just be for us to enjoy. Ian sang loudly and enjoyed waving and giving us thumbs up throughout the performance.
The next day we headed to the play Peter Pan put on by our elementary school. Our neighbor was involved in the play so of course we wanted to show our support. The play was amazing! We ended up going to the dress rehearsal since it was earlier in the night. Both of the boys were glued the entire 2 hours.
It may have helped that I was loaded with various snacks, most importantly popcorn! They honestly loved every minute. I too was very impressed, this was not your average play production. Since it was dress rehearsal we had to bring our own chairs. Even better because I just kept Aaron in his stroller. There were just a handful of people there and we were in the very front so nothing was blocking the children's views.
They had a few musical numbers throughout the play that both of the boys loved dancing too. Aaron was going ballistic. Tim was working so he was not able to join us but he is still not sure how Aaron did not start seizing with all of the lights at the end. He loved it! We can't wait to go next year as well for Aladdin!
In other news Aaron has started having night terrors. While Ian's nightmare's are full blown. Ian had night terrors as well from about age 18 months to 3 years old. If you are not sure of the difference night terrors occur when you are in a deep sleep. Therefore you don't remember them. While thankful Aaron has only had a few they do seem to occur when he has not been having sufficient naps. As for Ian he has been having awful nightmares which occur basically when you are not in a deep sleep. Therefor he remembers them all vividly. Just to give you an idea of how awful his dreams have been here are a few that he has shared with us in the wee hours of the night. Someone grabbing his feet in bed and taking him far away from home. Someone cutting off his toes so he was just screaming in pain. The list continues. So needless to say he has been sleeping with us in our bed many many nights. I have been trying to figure out if there is something that is triggering these nightmares and decided to cut out all disney/pixar movies. It has been four days with no movies or TV and he has not had one nightmare that I am aware of. Interesting right? He has enjoyed having my quilt in his bedroom as well as having Pike sleep with him. Poor little boy. Hopefully this is just a short phase and he will be able to get some much need rest soon.
