Cant live without it....

something i became completely reliant on with brody, and now i cannot live without, is our video monitor. i seriously think brody may have a video monitor in his room until hes 6 years old! one reason, is probably the fact that his room is upstairs and our is downstairs. We went ahead and purchased another video monitor since baby boy #2 is on the way. This monitor has a split screen, so you can see up to 4 rooms AND it has 2 way voice. So, we can talk to brody too if we need to. This is really coming in handy because, hes at a stage where hes having more and more trouble falling asleep at night and hes always calling us to take him potty or cover him up. its nice being about to talk back to him! So hes thinks we are somehow INSIDE the monitor, and he loves carrying on conversations with us. The other morning he woke up yelling for his dad (who was already at work) that it was "too dark" in his room. he kept saying over and over again, "its too dark, dad! its too dark dad!". i just continued to ignore him hoping to get a few more minutes of sleep:) then all of a sudden his yelling got EXTREMELY loud and i looked over at the monitor and all i can see is his eyes, nose, and mouth on the monitor screen. i started laughing uncontrollably in my bed all by myself. He got up as close as he could to the monitor, looking in it to see if anyone was in there and was yelling at the top of his lungs! HAHAHAHAH
