New Year, Back To Work

Carter got up a few times last night.  When we go in to check on him he is almost always standing up in his crib holding on to the side.  Aubrey slept through the night.

It actually wasn't that hard to get up at normal time to go to work this morning.  After showering I got my lunch ready and then headed upstairs to feed Aubrey because she was waking up.  Erin came in a little later to feed Carter.  Aubrey has developed a bad habit of peeing immediately after I remove her diaper before I can put the new one on.  I'll have to see if I can get faster at this evolution.  We have kind of slacked off in the speed department because they haven't done this since they were newborns.

I got Brayden ready and Erin got Calvin ready this morning.  Calvin was being a little difficult. 

I had used the remote starter on Erin's car this morning since it was quite cold outside (20s, I think).  I got the babies loaded in the car and then Brayden too.  I came back inside to see what was taking Calvin so long and he was being difficult and wouldn't choose his snack for the car ride.  So I just grabbed him and then put him in the car.  It was too cold to leave the babies and Brayden out there for long while Calvin fussed over what snack to take.  Not to mention that we needed to get going so I could get to the gym and then to work.

After my workout I realized that I left my badge at home.  So I had to come all the way home to get it.  I ended up being about thirty minutes late to work today because of this.  I'm pretty sure that this is only the third or fourth time in almost eleven years that I have ever been late.  Work went by very quickly because we were really busy catching up.  I'm sure it will be this way for the rest of the week.

I don't think the boys ate any of their dinner tonight.  Calvin did eat some of my turkey sandwich.  He was funny and would put the lettuce that fell out back on the sandwich. 

Calvin also decided to take one of Aubrey's play cups and spoons and pretend to feed everyone.  He would put the spoon in the empty cup and then put the spoon up to each of our mouths.  Perhaps not the greatest idea with some of us being sick, but whatever.  He was having fun.

We got the babies fed, changed and in bed.  I gave the boys a bath tonight.  They did very well until it was time to get out.  Brayden and Calvin were playing some game where they would intentionally slide down the side of the tub.  I was trying to get them to stop before someone fell and hit their head.  Of course Brayden decided to fall down and hit his head.  So he was the first to get out of the bath and get dried off.  Then it was Calvin's turn and he definitely did not want to get out of the bathtub.

Eventually we got them in bed and put down for the night.  I think it was 8:15 before they finally quieted down and went to sleep.  It seems to be getting later and later.  We need to figure out a way to get them back to going to sleep earlier.
