I've got two toddlers for sale, and they are buy one get one free!
It all started last night. Around 10:00, I hopped on the couch and decided to get a few minutes of reading in before bedtime. I had just taken two Nyquil for my cold, and was prepared to get a full night's sleep.
Nope. My children had other, devious plans in mind. Around 10:30, Natalie woke up crying. And of course as soon as I picked her up, I turn around and saw Audrey standing in her crib about to wail. So I rocked the two of them together for ten minutes, and plopped them into bed. Cue crying.
Rock. Put in crib. Cry. Rock. Put in crib. Cry. This went on for FOUR HOURS.
Around 1:30, I admitted defeat and brought the both into the living room. I gave them each a sippy of milk, we watched a few cartoons, and they were pretty happy to climb on me while I tried to sleep. Finally, they were both yawning and I was able to put them into their beds without fighting.
I slept blissfully until 5:40 this morning when they woke up...for the day. And they weren't very happy campers, either. I left for work with a house full of strewn, torn diapers, crunched up Cheerios on the floor, and a half jar of Vaseline that they were able to pry the lid off of and devour.
My students
may or may not be watching a video today. And making hand turkeys (gobble, gobble).
