Jingle Bells

Babies did pretty well last night.  Aubrey woke up about 3:00 this morning, but I gave her a paci and she went back to sleep until about 4:30.  Erin fed Aubrey and I fed Carter shortly after.  Then we got Calvin and Brayden ready to go to daycare.

I started going back to work for the 6am meeting today.  I have to make sure that I get up on time and don't hit the snooze button a few times or I won't make it to the meeting on time.  It was a long day, but it went very quickly so it wasn't too bad.  I was ready to get out of there and see the kids today.

It was another very warm December day in Virginia.  The kids didn't need jackets or anything. 

Calvin was singing along to Jingle Bells on the ride home today.

Aubrey was having the best time tonight.  She was sitting up and playing, clapping her hands and laughing all night.  Brayden was laying down next to her and had a blanket.  Aubrey reached over and grabbed the blanket and kept pulling it closer to her.  Brayden thought this was pretty funny too.

Carter is keeping up with his crawling over everything.  Brayden had his blanket downstairs and Carter was crawling over it when he spit up a lot on the blanket.  We had to put it in the washing machine.  Brayden was watching his blanket spin around for a few minutes.

The boys figured out how to plug in the train set.  We always unplug it when it isn't on because the transformer makes a humming sound.  We weren't sure if we forgot to unplug it last night, but we figured it out when I turned the train off tonight and saw that the plug was only halfway in the outlet.  I guess we'll have to pay close attention for now on.

Brayden and Calvin also "used" the potty again tonight.  They get us to take off their pants and diaper so they can sit on the potty.  They never actually use it, but they enjoy pretending.  After they were done they closed the lid to the potty and pushed it near the sink.  Then they stood on top of the potty and said "wash hands".  At least they are concerned about hygiene.

Calvin and Brayden got a bath tonight.  Erin started giving them a bath and I finished.  We didn't start the bath until almost 7pm which is usually their bedtime.  They did quite well in the bath tonight.  There was very little fussing.  They brushed their teeth and then got in bed.
