We thought the third night might be the charm...

Ken and I actually got decent nights sleeps for two nights in a row and thought for sure we had a third and wham! We didn't the funny thing is that I actually feel better this morning that I did yesterday or the day before. Go figure.

MONDAY night:
both kids down at their normal bed time (7:45 and 8:30)
Kate wakes up at 2:09 to pee - nothing out of the ordinary
Mariah wakes up at 3:30 and stands up in bed crying - I go in and pick her up she goes right back to sleep. I plop her back in the crib and cover her with her blankie and leave.
Mariah wakes up again at 5:30 and stands up in bed crying - Ken's dead asleep so I wake him up and ask him to take this one (I got both Kate and Mariah so far) He does with no complaint.

6:41 Mariah wakes up and is talking to herself in bed - POOP (but not huge) and the diaper is leaky. 6:50 Kate starts calling for me. "Moooooommmmyyy, Moooommmmmmyyyy." "What is it Kate." "My boo boo is all better!" GOOD MORNING TUESDAY! They're both happy - that makes everything much easier.

Today starts the first day of Mariah's new Naturopathic healthcare routine. We're going to limit her variety daily and rotate it for four days. Today is Oatmeal, Apples, Spinach and Potatoes.

Breakfast: Applesauce with cinnamon and oatmeal
Nap: 9:00-9:50
Lunch: Spinach and Potatoes with Oatmeal and Cinnamon Applesauce
Nap: 1:20-3:20
Bottle: 3:30 (took a long time to finish it)
Dinner: Spinach, Potatoes and Oatmeal and apple chuncks. Didn't eat well except the apple chuncks. I think she really just wants to feed herself.
8:15: Asleep (soundly) it was a late night with all of the excitement surrounding Kate's pre birthday dinner.

Jackie said she pooped for her twice so that would be a total of 3 poops today! I think she's been on a roll with that lately.

Kate had a great night. Grammie Lynnie got her a two wheel (with training wheels) bicycle and she mastered it in about 20 minutes and spent the next hour zipping around the house (on her bicycle!) cutting corners too close and running Rosie over. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries. She also got a purple leopard cape from Grammy T that she had to take with her to bed for her nap she was so excited about it. To even things out, we opened Mariah's TWO ride on toys from Hanukkah and Christmas. We were only going to keep one, then we were going to open one now and one later and then all of that was given up to try both out. So now, we have in our diningroom a ride on giraffe, a ride on elmo musical bus thingy (with a tight suspension), a radio flier walker, a bicycle and I think a doll stroller too. So much for keeping the toys in their rooms and out of the livingroom. I dont know how our neighbors do it. I guess they just dont over do it on the toys - or maybe they just do a better job at getting rid of stuff.
