Long night...

Sean has been in Oregon this past week interviewing coaches.  Taylor and I were left home alone.  It was nice not having to cook dinner but we missed Daddy.  On Friday night, Taylor was up from 2 - 4 am!  He would shrug his shoulders and ask, "Where Da Da?" I would repeatedly tell him, "Daddy's at work, he'll be home soon."  Then Taylor would begin to tear up.  I felt terrible.  At 2:45 am, I brought him into our bed and he asked about Da Da again!  Just as I began to refresh his memory, Taylor looked at the wall and started screaming.  I couldn't figure it out. Every time Taylor would move around,  he'd begin screaming.  After what feels like forever, I finally realized what was happening.
You see, I feel it's necessary to keep a night light on in our room when Sean's gone.  It gives me a sense of security I guess.  Well, the night light casts a shadow of Taylor on the wall, so every time Taylor would move, it would show his outline. I tried doing shadow puppets on the wall but that made it worse. Then my hair shadow didn't help when I got up to put him in his own bed.  He finally fell asleep at 4 am.  Poor guy, he's scared of his own shadow!

Here's a few pictures from last week.
I buy entirely too many bags of Cheetos.   
We've started packing.  And no, we haven't sold the house.  We've been showing it about 2 or 3 times a week but not one offer. :(
We hadn't seen Josecito in forever.  Look at his cowboy boots! 

oh and... yes, Taylor did get a haircut right before Easter and he hated it!
