He's such a sweet boy, and I know I will miss these days of being alone together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/SydYfPeyC5I/AAAAAAAAAUA/CRnvRD6XSEo/s1600-h/IMG_2120+03-28-31.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 420px; height: 600px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/SydYfPeyC5I/AAAAAAAAAUA/CRnvRD6XSEo/s800/IMG_2120+03-28-31.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415394370691140498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Most recently, ADA - the studio I teach at - presented their annual Nutcracker.

Luke is going through the ever dreaded transition out of naphood (dun dun DUN!)  He's almost 3, so I guess it's not extremely early for this to happen... but much earlier than &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; would have allowed if given a choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would customarily put him down right after lunchtime.  About 2 months ago he really started fighting it and would not fall asleep until about 2:30 or 3:00.  I learned quickly and pushed back nap time to 2:30 or 3:00 when I knew he would actually fall asleep.  The only problem then is that he would wake up around 4:30 or 5:00pm and not be tired enough to go to sleep for the night until 10:00pm at the earliest!!  Gah!  We lived through that for a while because it was summer, Dan didn't get home until 7ish anyway, so having those extra hours at night was OK for the time being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, now I feel like I'd much rather him go to bed at 7:30pm-ish and wake up at 8:30am-ish - which is what happens if he doesn't take any sort of nap.  There are two problems for which I need your expert advice:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I (we) still desperately need some sort of a break in the afternoon from him (each other.)  We've tried a few unsuccessful quiet times-- I feel it's because he is just still too young to entertain himself in his room for a great stretch of time.  We got a "quiet time timer" to set, and even some strictly "quiet time toys" which seemed to help a little... but still, about 10-15 minutes into it, he's banging at the door to come downstairs. I really don't want him in front of the TV for a long stretch of time every day, so I just don't know what to do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If I give him no nap, about 4:30 he hits a wall and gets very cranky and tired.  If we're in the car he'll just conk out.  Some days that crankiness will last until bedtime at 7:30 or 8, and by then I want to hurt people - specifically him.  Any thoughts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for taking pity on a first-time mom.  I would love to hear any ideas that worked for you!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8590861037967435222-4094442212741018593?l=hafenunderground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/feeds/4094442212741018593/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8590861037967435222&amp;postID=4094442212741018593&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/4094442212741018593'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/4094442212741018593'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/2009/10/singing-nonapping-blues.html' title='Singing the (no)Napping Blues...'/><author><name>Bree</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03846520042348956505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/SUFk84elofI/AAAAAAAAAEg/7fGSSazQcfk/S220/associated+press_marilyn_monroe_seven_yr_itch_L.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/Ssz7VOFuwrI/AAAAAAAAAPs/HXAaXhiHCjc/s72-c/IMG_1935.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590861037967435222.post-2183691027756035616</id><published>2009-09-03T20:07:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T20:09:49.578-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='No real category...'/><title type='text'>How do you spell LUST?</title><content type='html'>M-A-D-S-E-N!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aren't these darling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.madsencycles.com/?src=lcs09"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.madsencycles.com/images/banners/MADSEN-240x400-mom-2-kids.gif" border="0" alt="Madsen Cycles Cargo Bikes" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.madsencycles.com/?src=lcs09"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.madsencycles.com/images/banners/MADSEN-300x250-mom-1-kid.gif" border="0" alt="Madsen Cycles Cargo Bikes" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on a pic for more info on their once-a-week giveaway!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8590861037967435222-2183691027756035616?l=hafenunderground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/feeds/2183691027756035616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8590861037967435222&amp;postID=2183691027756035616&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/2183691027756035616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/2183691027756035616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-do-you-spell-lust_03.html' title='How do you spell LUST?'/><author><name>Bree</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03846520042348956505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/SUFk84elofI/AAAAAAAAAEg/7fGSSazQcfk/S220/associated+press_marilyn_monroe_seven_yr_itch_L.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590861037967435222.post-4420173076875882017</id><published>2009-08-28T13:43:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-28T14:59:50.833-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Our Family Rocks'/><title type='text'>Lake Winni(pesaukee)!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Things I love about &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;the lake&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/Spgmb-pkRjI/AAAAAAAAAOo/_5WrwwB5VdQ/s1600-h/DSC03457.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/Spgmb-pkRjI/AAAAAAAAAOo/_5WrwwB5VdQ/s800/DSC03457.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375088417382352434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1.

It was - of course - a much needed trip for all of us.  Bree needs a little Utah time at least once every six months to stay in one piece, Luke can't get enough of his cousins, Dan needed a break from work, and we ALL needed a rest from the indescribable Texas heat and humidity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;Dan's mother and her husband will be leaving this Saturday to Germany on a mission (!)&lt;/span&gt; so we went over the weekend of July 4th to spend some time with them before they were to take off for 18 months.

This means we're getting Luke in a big boy bed, potty trained and basically able to be a helper rather than a helpee (pardon the pun).

He was a CHAMP!  Just went straight down each nap/bed time with nothing but excitement for the graduation.  Now, as of Monday, we have officially started the final "go" (I'm very punny today!) at potty training.  He's been doing really well so far...  And this morning we were out all morning and he stayed dry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what's the problem? Well, since we started potty training he's digressed in the big boy bed area.  He suddenly realized that he could take advantage of the freedom, and to make matters worse, he uses the excuse that he has to go pee in order to get out of trouble for escaping.  That's where I am looking for advice.  I want to teach him that once he's in bed, he needs to STAY PUT.  And since I make sure he goes pee before bed, I know he doesn't really &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;need&lt;/span&gt; to go... But at the same time, I want to follow through the potty-training actions when he asks, so he is learning the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/Sl91xnGt05I/AAAAAAAAAKs/o7WepL9Yplk/s1600-h/IMG_1833.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/Sl91xnGt05I/AAAAAAAAAKs/o7WepL9Yplk/s400/IMG_1833.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359131576765371282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Ugh.

Guess we have a fertile March!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;girl,&lt;/span&gt; and I've decided that she is a feisty, stubborn little one!  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;With Luke we got pregnant the minute we started trying.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;With this one - it was 6 months of trying (I know, I know, that's still not too bad) and one miscarriage.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;With Luke I was pretty sick until 12 weeks.  &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;This one still has me barfing and feeling SO tired and nauseous...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt; with no light at the end of the tunnel as of yet!  &lt;/span&gt;Plus, I've decided that &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;MY lady hormones&lt;/span&gt; (bad enough on their own) plus &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;HER lady hormones &lt;/span&gt;(I told you she's feisty!) are making my emotions run a little more on the&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt; satanic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;side than the euphoric feeling I felt during the second trimester with Luke.  EEK!  Sorry Dan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, complaints aside, we are thrilled.  I (secretly) wanted this one to be a girl, so I feel very blessed-- even spoiled!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I need your help... Please comment with some ideas for cute girl names!  We are hoping for something unique, but not "weird".  (i.e. "Scout" = good.  "McKarlianna" = not so good.) And unisex names are definitely welcome.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8590861037967435222-2948969318311862063?l=hafenunderground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/feeds/2948969318311862063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8590861037967435222&amp;postID=2948969318311862063&amp;isPopup=true' title='23 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/2948969318311862063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/2948969318311862063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-bree-has-new-post-impossible.html' title='What?

In the 60s and 70s most days... we have been so spoiled.  I was so excited to have my mom and sister come down and be similarly spoiled as they have spent the last 3 months digging their way through 3 feet of snow in Utah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, as irony would have it, the very day they got here (Wednesday) temps dropped dramatically and it started pouring rain.  Yeah, bummer.  All my fun plans were nice-weather dependent.  I have actually been a little more upset about it than reasonable.  And they leave tomorrow morning, right when it's supposed to get warm again.  Ugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we still had a fun time- of course!  We spent the week shopping, eating, attending dance competitions, shopping!  Then today, a highlight for me, we found all the recipes and made full-on Cafe Rio pork salads for dinner.  It was a-mazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/Sb21df_o9dI/AAAAAAAAAI8/iNvIRK4Zi10/s1600-h/IMG_1518.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/Sb21df_o9dI/AAAAAAAAAI8/iNvIRK4Zi10/s400/IMG_1518.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313602653776311762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Daddy was nice enough to keep Luke entertained with some Micheal Jackson while we cooked.

It's time to start this blog a'movin!&lt;br /&gt;Now... does anyone want to teach me how?  Well- let's see what I can figure out on my own:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's start with pictures.  Hmmm.&lt;br /&gt;...OK, guess that one was too large.  How do I make it smaller? Hmmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait!  It just jumped to the top!  Grrrr.  Let's try again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT THE?!  Why do these pictures keep jumping to the top!  Ok, third time's a charm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope.  Didn't work.  Will someone tell me how you can imbed the photos in the middle of the post?  Jeepers, I thought I was a college graduate.  I bet NOW they offer blogging 101. Bollox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh, this is a mess.  Let's try video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{VIDEO UPLOAD CANCELED.}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, well at least that didn't jump to the top.  That's promising.&lt;br /&gt;Wonder how long it's going to take to download.&lt;br /&gt;Let's try one off YouTube... oh, looks like I have to wait for this one to finish.  This could be a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, in the mean time, how about some other tricks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Like THIS!  tee hee.  &lt;span style="font-family:webdings;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;This could be &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;fun&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  So many color options!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you like &lt;a href="http://hafenunderground.com/"&gt;THIS&lt;/a&gt; site?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things I already like about Blogger:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;It creates numbered lists for me.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Yep.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;It creates bulleted lists for me.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Yep.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Things I don't like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;It takes 5 years to download a movie!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Yep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Well, nevermind about the video.  I don't have that type of patience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone want to shed some light on the situation for me?  And how do I get my blog to look cute?  Well, until Luke wakes up, that will be my assignment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8590861037967435222-4195441817653701439?l=hafenunderground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/feeds/4195441817653701439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8590861037967435222&amp;postID=4195441817653701439&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/4195441817653701439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8590861037967435222/posts/default/4195441817653701439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hafenunderground.blogspot.com/2008/12/tutorial.html' title='Tutorial'/><author><name>Bree</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03846520042348956505</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/SUFk84elofI/AAAAAAAAAEg/7fGSSazQcfk/S220/associated+press_marilyn_monroe_seven_yr_itch_L.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nJGnol-jpXE/ST0lkxBz65I/AAAAAAAAABE/Em28GsFqq1k/s72-c/IMG_1333.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590861037967435222.post-4873184375092695169</id><published>2008-10-26T16:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-26T17:02:34.815-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='No real category...'/><title type='text'>Hafen Underground Take 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;Welp, here we are!
