New Chairs
One of the advantages of having a Father-in-Law who is the COO of a furniture company is getting phone calls about neat pieces of furniture coming our way! I made mention months ago about a beautiful bench he had gotten for his mom (we are sitting on it in these pics) so when they [...]
Breakfast for Three
The boys have created a new way of eating breakfast in the past few weeks. They don’t sit in their chairs. They sit on daddy’s lap. Every…single..morning. He has to grab bites to eat in between them stealing his spoon or fork and eating his food. Even if it is [...]
ah hah!
I think I just figured out how to handle the transition during naps. Sit in the room with them until they fall asleep. They know fully well that they need to be staying in their own beds and if I sit in there with them, they are able to stay put and relax [...]
Week Two with Crib Climbers
It’s getting better. Instead of taking an hour and a half for them to settle down at night, it’s only taking about 45 minutes. That’s a huge difference. And despite last night’s disturbance as Logan decided in the middle of the night that he needed to be in his brother’s bed even [...]

Peek-A-Boo
Crawling out of the Cribs day 3
Last night we put the boys to bed in their cribs but left the bars down and no sleep sacs. It took them about an hour to settle down as they roamed the room and pulled toys and books into each other’s beds. But they did finally settle but it was a bit [...]
Hands
Forest and Brad were watching tv together one Saturday and I saw how sweetly Forest was holding Brad’s hands. Melt, melt
And how can you resist?
Toddler Transition - The Bed Part 2
Yesterday after his nap, Forest climbed out of his crib while wearing his sleep sac. This scared me so I completely dismantled their cribs and put the mattresses on the floor surrounded by pillows, stuffed animals and blankets. I had hoped that we’d have a temporary solution until at least the weekend when [...]
