Photo Shoot
Today Michael and I took the kids to a park with a pond and ducks to get some good pictures of them. Although I got some great shots, the ducks kept distracting Cooper, so not as many great ones with him. I got some awesome shots of Ciarrah when she wanted to cooperate.

Skating
Today we took the kids skating. They had a blast as did I. I haven't skated since I was in high school, where I used to figure skate, oh how I miss it. I can still skate pretty good. Although this floor was a little slippery, but it was a blast.
When we got there it was empty. We were the only ones there which was nice until later on.
Cooper was a natural. He got out there and started skating. After a while of holding the wall he decided that he didn't need it anymore so he skated without the wall. I was skating backwards and he decided that he needed to do it too. He's such a smart little boy.
Ciarrah, on the other hand, wasn't so good at it. She just has balance issues. We tried regular skates for her and that didn't work. So we tried the kind of skates that Cooper had, that seemed to work better for her. Although she still had a hard time, she had more fun that way.
All in all we had a great time.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Big Boy Bed
Tonight we took down Cooper's crib and put up his toddler bed.
We did our normal routine except for instead of reading a book to both kids I read Cooper one in his room, just for him. We took a bath, brushed teeth and read a story, then he crawled into his bed and covered him self up and said night night. I told him goodnight and left his room. He started crying, so I went back in there and told him it was okay and he laid right back down and then I left. He fell asleep pretty quickly. I tucked Ciarrah in and read her her own story. They are both sound asleep as I write this.
Things have been pretty busy with us down here. We are preparing as much as we can for the upcoming deployment in Jan/Feb. We are having lots of family coming down to visit us before Michael leaves, which is pretty exciting. Looking forward to Christmas.
Hope everyone has a great night.
*UPDATE*
He slept all night. He woke up at 8am this morning. Maybe he's been ready for a while and I just wasn't :( Hoping for more great nights
