Back to the Future Car

   I feel like I haven't really mentioned Dawson much on the blog lately. There has just been so much going on. Dawson is one funny, funny little boy. He is constantly making us laugh. He is such a sweet and loving little guy. He has recently really gotten into hugging. Multiple times a day, he comes up to me and says, "I want to hug you" and gives me a big hug. It warms my heart each and every time!
     A few months ago, Dawson discovered how to climb out of his crib. I was planning on keeping him in his crib for as long as possible (or until we needed it for the new baby). After he climbed out a few times, we decided it was time for him to get a big boy bed. We headed up to Ikea to look at toddler beds. We picked out one that he liked. He transitioned really, really well into his new bed. Dawson literally didn't sleep through the night until he was almost a year old. He has more than made up for that with his champion sleeping now. He is such a dream child when it comes to sleeping. He consistently takes a 2 hour plus nap each day, and goes to bed very easily. When he is out, he is out for the night. He loves sleeping in his big boy bed.
     Dawson has another new obsession and it is the movie Back to the Future. Joey's favorite 80s movie has always been Back to the Future. He can watch that movie over and over. Years ago, a coworker of his gave him a little Matchbox Delorean car like the one in the movie. Well, one day Joey decided to watch Back to the Future with Dawson. Dawson immediately fell in love. He found Joey's car, and it now doesn't leave his side. He refers to is as his "Back to the Future Car". It is a very tiny car, and I can't even begin to count the amount of times Joey and I have had to search the house for that car. He gets very upset if he can't find it. It is the cutest thing ever!
