ABC's

From Mommy:

I have a few super cute things to report from tonight.  Preston sang his ABC's!!  Ok, it doesn't sound anything like the actually ABC's, but I could tell.  
As we were getting ready for bed I asked him if he wanted to sing songs.  He said yes, and started the tune to the ABC's (You know, that little melody by Mozart that starts with the infamous Perfect 5th?).  He sang a perfect 5th, and then stopped.  So I said, "You want to sing the ABC's?" He said, "YEAH!"  So, first I sang them, and he danced while I sang.  Then I asked him if he could sing them, and I helped him dance while he sang a bunch of wierd sounds to a somewhat recognizable tune!  I TOTALLY count that as singing a song.  What mom wouldn't?  When he was finished he said "YAY" and clapped his hands!  More confirmation that he TOTALLY knew what he was doing.  He makes me so proud :-D.

The other super cute thing that he did involves Daddy.  While Daddy is travelling we are able to video chat with him (except that there is not sound, but apparently that doesn't matter to Preston).  Daddy came up on the screen and Pres got really excited!  He pointed to him a bunch of times and said "Dada!"  Then he leaned in to John's face on the computer and kissed the screen!  He did it a bunch of times, too.  It melted my heart; it was so cute!  When we turned the video chat off, he kept asking for "more dada."  They miss each other.  

Finally, I have an update to bedtime.  It has only been 2 days since I posted about bedtime being rough for us, but in those two days we have discovered a cure:  Black-out curtains!  Now that his room is much darker when he goes to bed, he doesn't throw tantrums at bedtime.  He d
