Aubrey slept through the night again last night. Carter got up around midnight. The babies are getting better at sleeping during the night which is great. I'm looking forward to them continually sleeping through the night.
Calvin wanted mini Oreo's for his snack on the way to daycare this morning. So we let him take the bag. Bray Bray grabbed two bags of muffins. It's normally a process of elimination in the morning's. Sometimes they want Brownie bites, sometimes it's muffins (chocolate chip, choclate fudge, banana, blueberry), sometimes they want cereal bars, and other times it's Pop Tarts. We end up grabbing something and seeing if they are happy. Sometimes they tell us what they want, but when we get it for them they decide they don't want it. I guess this is what it's like dealing with two year-olds.
I had some 100 calorie Brownie bites, a Fiber One brownie bar as well as the Oreo's in the minivan. Instead of the boys' getting some type of cereal for their snack on the car ride home from daycare they got the good stuff. Brayden wanted the Brownie bites. Then Calvin wanted Brownie bites when he saw Bray Bray eating them. I didn't have any more so I gave Calvin the brownie bar. Then of course Brayden wanted a brownie bar, but I didn't have another one so I gave him the bag of mini Oreo's. And guess what? Calvin wanted the bag of Oreo's. So I tried giving him a handful, but he threw them on the ground. I'm not one to let a good thing to to waste so I ate them.
After a little while of Calvin fussing I asked Brayden if he would give his brother the Oreo's and he said "no dada". Then I asked Brayden if he would give Calvin some Oreo's and he did. That made Calvin happy for a while. Eventually Brayden actually gave the bag to Calvin. When we got to the house and I got them out of their car seats I noticed that their hands were covered in Oreo cookie crumbs. They also had Oreo cookie all over their face.
The boys' haven't been eating very healthy lately. They had popcorn and chocolate chip muffins for dinner. We made them a peanut butter sandwich, but they didn't eat it. They did eat a few of dada's french fries though.
The boys fussed a lot when they were put to bed again tonight. They were doing quite well for a while, but the past few nights have been a struggle. I keep reading books and play with them and try to make them happy, but eventually I get to a point where I realize that there isn't any more I can do. At that point I just walk out of the room and let them scream until they eventually fall asleep. It only takes a few minutes for them to go to sleep, but I really wish they wouldn't get so upset each night.
Tomorrow is their last day at their current daycare place. They go to a new place on Monday. We'll be heading over to the new daycare place this weekend to check it out and get the kids somewhat familiar with it. The lady that will be watching them was one of the people that has been watching them so it shouldn't be too much of a change for them. The location will change, but at least they will know the daycare lady.
