So what are the kids doing these days?
We're still working on staying in the same room. The other night John wanted to sleep in Eve's bed with her. Early evening she was crying because he had scooched his way in. I put her in the bed beside him and they did well getting to sleep. Around 1am I heard her crying again. I went in the room to find her on the floor beside the bed and John right at the edge. My best guess tells me he mistakenly rolled or moved over and pushed her out. He was completely asleep, even through her crying, so I'm sure it was a mistake, but the next morning we made the rule that he could sleep beside her bed, but not in it. Other than that bed time has worked well, but nap time is pretty shaky (or nonexistent).
Eve and John are both perfecting their walking in high heels...makes Daddy so proud :)
Eve has definitely become a hoarder and a hitter. Not quite sure what to do about this, but she hits when she's frustrated and just for fun. She thinks it's hilarious when we correct her.
John has been very excited about playing with other kids, maybe because the weather has been so cold and with colds and pink eye we've been stuck at home. Unfortunately, I think the weather has made some of his friends a little moody, and they haven't wanted to play with him. He's been so sweet showing off his toys, trying to share, and play together, and so sad to see him get rejected. I'm glad to see him making a move toward playing with other kids. I just explained that sometimes people are grumpy and they need some space. Poor kid. I think he's pretty cool.
Another addition to the Gospel according to John (Buckingham)...If you get mad, your tongue will fall out. Apparently he learned this at church last Saturday night. The lesson was on prayer. We haven't figured out the connection yet, but it's pretty funny.
Another embarrasing story I've got to record to use later. There's a weird kids show called Yo Gabba Gabba. We don't watch it because it's so weird, but the songs come on between shows sometimes. Anyway, one song repeats "there's a party in my tummy, so yummy, so yummy". It's about eating different foods. The other day while John was in the bathroom #2 (I think he gets bored...he often plays and talks to himself) I caught him singing "there's a poopy in my tummy, so yummy, so yummy". So gross.
Two things that surprise me about them are 1. how much John is learning and his remarkable memory 2. how well Eve understands and follows directions.
