So today was fun. The babies and I went to the gym to have our play time. It's very enjoyable because we get out of the house. They get exposure to other kids and adults and I actually work out. It's also fun cause I get to take Stevie swimming. Nap once again wasn't working. I don't know why this kid fights his nap. I finally broke out the port-a-crib to keep him confined. He was so tired but it still took him half an hour to pass out. I know that stubbornness comes from his grandpa...and well me.
After he woke up, the tantrums started. I just don't think he slept long enough. I did finally get him to calm down after we went to the TV room. This boy is so busy, we rarely watch TV, but the promise of giraffes changed his mind. He didn't watch much of Madagascar, but we at least stopped the tantrums. I broke out the wooden play cupcakes that grandma gave him. They even included markers. It kept him entertained for a good 30 minutes. It felt like a record.
So when daddy got home, I got to start heating dinner. And then of course Abbie needed her turn to be upset. She was smiley and giggle all day. I love to hear her giggle, but she just got tired. Daddy started sing the "we like to move it move it" song from Madagascar. Stevie started to join in. It was so funny to see him dance and try to sing "move it move it." Abbie really loves her brother. He kept giving her kisses and she loved it. I feel so blessed to have these too babies. They amaze me every day with the way they see things. Stevie is just a chatter box and he is moving on to 3 word sentences. Abbie loves to be with her mommy and watch me. I love being home to raise my babies. I have to say it was th best decision ever to become a SAHM.
