Every morning for the past few months it has been the same thing.

"Mommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, my back hurts. Will you crack my back? I don't like my bed."

I kept hoping it was a phase. No such luck. He even said he would give up Christmas gifts to get a new bed.  THAT means Vern is serious.

So this weekend while Vern was at his dad's Superman and myself went shopping. We saw a good deal and picked it up.  Unfortunately we did not get it all set up for him but at least it is in his room.  I am going to be a very naughty mom and tell him.....

"MERRY CHRISTMAS Early VERN!!!"  Just to see what he does.


Guess there will be coal in MY stocking this year. (Giggling mom)

The wind is a blowin...

Now living in the midwest you know the wind blows all the time.  This blog has nothing to do with that. Sorry. :-)

Vern is a light sleeper. He has a difficult time getting to sleep also. We try to keep quiet but sometimes it is hard to walk on egg shells all evening. He will go an hour or two and cry and not get to sleep.  I have tried all the tricks to try and get him to sleep - pray, count sheep, count backwards by 3's, put your legs to sleep and work up, etc... Still he has trouble.

So Superman had a new idea to try. He had a clock that makes noises such as rain, ocean, frogs, crickets, and wind. Vern picked wind. We put it in his room tonight. I am hopeful that this does the trick on helping him get and stay asleep.
