update

Here is a short video of Landon trying to get the telephone out from under the couch. Check out his gear to get the job done. A bike helmet, a swimming noodle, and snow boots. He then goes into his room to find something else to help get the phone because the swimming noodle was NOT doing it's job! I ran out of space on my memory card, so it's cut off, but still pretty funny.



An update on the sleeping issue. We are going on week two of the monkey bar chart to keep Landon in his bed to earn a trip to Chuckie Cheese in Mark's Camero...not so much. The furthest we've gotten is onto the board...the first monkey bars. He is really frustrated as am I because of the lack of sleep. We are finding it's going hand in hand with Landon's vomiting issue. It has also escalated into Landon getting up consistently at the same time every night and throwing up. Landon has had the issue of vomiting for over two years now. It's mentioned at all his doctor's appointments with not much advice. After talking with a good friend today, I took him to the doctor with confidence that a child throwing up 4 to 5 times a week is NOT NORMAL!!!!! Without laying all Landon's issues to everyone, we are slowly looking into things and are going to fix this. It truly is ruling his life and affecting our family daily. WE ARE EXHAUSTED!!!

I couldn't post without a picture of Alexa...here she is standing in her favorite place...under the kitchen table:)

Hey Jennifer! My sister in law has been reading your blog and recommended a book called, "Healthy Sleeping Habits, Happy Baby." It deals with Infants-Adolesence and she said it talks about kids with the same issues as Landon. I have been reading it and it seems very helpful. The one thing they talk about with 3-4 year olds getting out of bed is that everytime they get out of bed you walk them right back to their own bed without saying anything or giving any eye contact because any talking or eye contact is a form of attention even if it is you showing a firm face or sounding upset and most times attention is why they continue to get out of bed. I saw this technique used on Super Nanny too and after only a few nights of getting up nearly 50-100 times the kids stopped getting out of bed. I don't know what to tell you with the throwing up though. It can't last forever so keep your hopes high!
