Watch Your Fingers

Carter woke up once in the middle of the night.  Erin got up to plug him and he went back to sleep.  Aubrey woke up a little before 4:00 so I got up to feed her.  When I was done putting Aubrey in her car seat Carter started stirring.  I went downstairs to make Carter's bottle and Erin came down to get it and feed him.  I had to be to work by 6am today so we had to get everyone ready on time.  Everyone had to get drops in their eyes again this morning.

When I got home after picking up the kids I got the kids out of the car and we headed up to the house.  Brayden normally gets to the front door first and opens the door and goes in.  Calvin always wants to open the door himself so we ask Brayden to close the door.  Normally I tell Brayden to watch his fingers, but tonight Calvin said "Watch your fingers" to his brother.  What a nice brother.  Then Calvin opened the door and held it open for dada with the babies.  Calvin closed the door after we got inside.

Calvin did a pretty good job eating his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  I don't think Brayden touched his dinner. 

Everyone was playing and I asked the boys if they were excited about Santa Claus.  And they both shouted "Yay!".  They I asked if they were excited about Christmas and I got the same reply.  So then I had to ask if they were excited to get presents?  Guess what they said?  "Yay!" and threw the arms up in the air.  I'm looking forward to seeing their reaction on Christmas.

The boys got bath tonight.  They were really good getting cleaned tonight.  They barely fussed at all.  Calvin wasn't too happy about getting out of the bathtub first, but I try to alternate which one comes out first.  After getting them dried off, loitened up and jammies on we went to brush their teeth.  I'm amazed at how much they love to brush their teeth.

The boys cried for a while again tonight after putting them to bed.  We read them a number of books.  Calvin actually said that he wanted eye drops tonight.  Erin didn't want to give them drops because it always upsets them so we were going to forego the night time eye drops.  I agreed since I didn't want to make them mad right before bed.  When Calvin said he wanted drops that completely changed the game plan.  Erin came back up and put drops in Brayden and Calvin's eyes.  They were really good when they got their drops.  Unfortunately it was short lived.  After we put them back in bed and said goodnight they both started crying.  Calvin cried for a little over an hour before finally going to sleep.  We decided we needed to stop going in and checking on them so that they would stop doing this at night.  It should only last a few days then they'll hopefully start going right to sleep again.
