Sleep Time and Snack Time

Lately I've been finding Ben in odd situations when he is sleeping. One night he just wouldn't lay down and go to sleep. I had to tell him numerous times to lay down and stop playing. It wasn't until after he had finally fallen asleep that I figured out what was keeping him up.

If you can't tell, he's holding the plastic stick that goes into the toilet paper roll to hold it onto the dispenser (not sure what it's called). I have no idea how I didn't see him have it, but apparently he was having barrels full of fun with it.

Ben likes to take naps in our bed. Who wouldn't? It's the only time you get a whole bed to yourself. Anyways, he tends to play with his ears when he is tired or as he falls asleep. Today when I went to check on him I found him like this...

...face down in the pillow, still holding onto his ear. He slept like this for quite awhile. It makes me wonder if he woke up with a sore ear.

Today I was scanning Food.com when I found a section titled, "Top 25 Kid-Friendly Recipes". Now that Nicholas has grown into the picky stage, I had to check it out. It had some really great recipes, one of which I made today for their afternoon snack time.


Cinnamon Tortillas

They were quite easy to make and turned out pretty good. The boys seemed to enjoy them. There was complete silence in my house for a good 7 minutes, so I'd say that's a good sign.
