The babies again didn't have a good night Sunday night. We had to get Carter and Aubrey a few times each. Surprisingly Brayden had a really bad night. He woke up hysterical twice. The first time I got up and gave him his pacis and things that he had thrown on the floor. Then he was happy and laid back down. It didn't last because he got up again later in the night. This time Erin got up to help him, but he just wasn't happy no matter what we did. Eventually I got up and grabbed him and put him in bed with us. That seemed to make him happy. He slept very well curled up next to me. So well in fact that I got up a little before 6:00 and it didn't wake him up when I got out of bed.
By the time I got up Erin had already fed and changed Carter and Aubrey. She didn't want to take a chance at bother Brayden so she didn't get me up to get one of the babies. I wasn't feeling great this morning. My throat was really scratchy and I had a lot of phlegm. I actually didn't go to the gym this morning because I wasn't feeling great. Erin took the kids to daycare this morning. I laid on the couch and watched a little TV.
Erin got home and worked out in the basement. After a while I went down to the Media Room to play the PS3. I was actually able to play for a few hours today which was a nice break. Especially nice considering the weekend was very stressful. I didn't go anywhere today. Erin went out to do some clothes shopping.
I loaded a new game to play and of course it had to download an update. I hate it when the updates take hours to download. I'm not sure what takes so long. Eventually I fell asleep in the Media Room and woke up right when it was time to leave to get the kids.
They were all very happy to see me. They did very well on the car ride home. Brayden was singing the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
They also behaved quite well tonight. Calvin didn't eat any of his dinner. Brayden ate some cheesy broccoli, but that was it. Calvin did eat some of dada's dinner. Since we moved most of the toys to the Living Room I was able to sit at the dining room table to eat. This is only the second we have used the table (the first was on Christmas day).
We got the babies ready and put them down for the night. Then we let Calvin and Brayden play for a while longer before getting them ready and putting them down. I think it took about an hour to get them in bed tonight. Calvin took forever brushing his teeth. Then he didn't want to get in bed. I put him in bed and he didn't want any books or anything so I was goign to walk out of the room, but then he said "no dada, read books". So I came back and read him a few books. One of the books is a preschool book and I'm amazed that he knows his shapes already. He struggles with square and rectangle, but the others are a breeze.
Erin finished reading books to Brayden while I was still reading to Calvin. Eventually Brayden got very fussy and kept asking for mama and "Thomas" (referring to the train). Erin came back up and gave him the Thomas from the bathtub. This didn't make him happy. We're pretty sure he wanted the powered Thomas for the train set, but we weren't going to give that to him in bed. We just had to walk out and let them cry. After washing my face I heard Brayden calling for me so I went in to see what he wanted. He had thrown out all of his blankets, pacis and books. So I gave everything back to him. Then Calvin and Brayden took turns asking for another book so I picked up all the books and gave some to each. Then they seemed happy and said "night night" as I was leaving. We didn't hear another peep from them all night.
