mobile excitement

so yesterday Tyler got a new mobile. we were using Paxton's old mobile and he LOVED it. well i went to turn it on and it broke. the mobile would hang but the music wouldn't play and it wouldn't turn anymore. Tyler was not happy about this ... he used to fuss a little when it would stop and i would turn it back on for him but now i couldn't. so i decided to get a new mobile since he can still use it for a few more months.

so it arrived in the mail yesterday and Paxton was very excited to help put it together. i promised Paxton that i would let him turn it on for Tyler since he was sleeping while we put it together. well Paxton fell asleep before Tyler woke up (nap times have been on opposite schedules lately ... i really liked when they both napped at the same time). then Tyler wanted to nap again before Paxton woke up. so i sang him a song and laid him in his crib and he was nearly asleep. i thought he was asleep but when Paxton woke up i heard Tyler playing in his room. i went in and he was just staring at his new mobile. Pax turned it on for him and he started kicking and talking up a storm. after i had let him play for a while i could tell he was exhausted so we did the nap time routine over and he went to sleep.

then last night Bryce went back to work to finish up paperwork so he wouldn't have to go in this weekend. i fell asleep on the couch waiting for him. when he came in he asked if i knew that Tyler was awake staring at his mobile. he was beginning to fuss and was once again exhausted. this time i moved the mobile over to the side and laid him on the opposite side of his bed. what a funny little guy! hopefully the excitement will wear off soon and he'll be able to sleep again but at least we know he really likes it!
