Ken and I have been having trouble with the twins’ bedtime, they are running wild and not even trying to go to sleep… so I asked my twin egroups and my good friend Darcy (she has 4 boys after all!) and got some interesting advice. Many people suggested we get rid of naps all together (umm not so sure I am ready for that) but the best advice I got from Darcy… Ken has in the past laid down with them and when we go in tell them to go to sleep… now this is WRONG what we SHOULD be doing is going in and laying them back down – no words no nothing. So that is what we are doing… Gavin was a ton nicer after his nap today which is a big reason why I am reticent to get rid of naptime. After all it is just advice not orders!
Can you believe it SNOWED today! Good thing I did not have plans to take the kids out. Tonight Ken did put up their slide which was a blast though you have to watch them to make sure they watch out for Emanuel and do not put all their toys in it. Now we just need to arrange the livingroom a little better so that there is a place for the displaced picnictable.
Ken does not have the site up yet – server issues he needs Jeff to fix, but we are close.
Tomorrow I am probably staying close to home… I want to try and have them do some crafts now that they have scissors and glue. Tomorrow night Ken is to have planned some together time – we will see what that entails!
