Second Post for the day!

I am going out on a limb and typing two posts today. This by no means is a measure of how much time I have as the other one took forever to post. We are trying to get the kids to bed now. S won't sleep since he had a big nap today and M is mad that I won't nurse her, plus she hates to go to bed. Y is the only doing what he is supposed to be doing, which is sleeping.

The kids were just so cute today that I couldn't resist doing a quick up date. We have a big double stroller with baskets underneath. A while back we figured out that in a pinch S can sit underneath when he is too tired to walk. This has come in very hand since we no longer have a front pack to carry one of the twins in. So today while S was waiting for me to get the twins ready to go out and run errands he fell asleep sitting in the bottom basket, it was too cute. I got him up and in bed for a nap. An hour later he woke up, but then climbed back into one of the seats of stroller and took another nap. I leaned it back so it would recline. Guess it is his equivalent to falling asleep in the car.

The other cute thing today was Y is starting to walk more and of course we are so excited! I held his hand today twice and he was able to make it down the hall. Of course I know this means more work soon, but it is so much fun to watch! Mr. Turtle also got a bath today. For those of you not acquainted, Mr. Turtle is Y's best friend. He is actually a plush dog toy and was given to us as a gift, one for each of the kids. We lost number one and fortunately M doesn't care, but Y loves Mr. Turtle and to be separated from him while he got a bath was a very big deal. However, not only was Mr. Turtle about three shades too dark, Y put him in the toilet which had not been flushed! Yuck! So along with all the kids Mr. Turtle also got a bath. We noticed that he is going to have be mended too. I am considering finding out where he originated from and perhaps purchasing a back up in case this one doesn't make it.

M is just her cute little usual self and it is fun watching her since she is just such a girl! She has such a great smile and loves to just sit and watch and clap and play with her big bird. Our tub is two tiered here and so after we had emptied the water and she was waiting for her turn to get out she discovered that she could go up and down. Very exciting for her.

Today I also made another internet discovery. Not only is You Tube good for waisting time, it has quality material for wasting time! Not only can we watch Thomas clips and old cartoons and T.V. Shows, but I found clips from my favorite musicals today! I watched pieces of Singin' in the Rain and Father Goose and Fiddler on the Roof. It was great! OK Father Goose is not a musical, but still! S was less than impressed and wanted to know why we were not watching Thomas, but he did like the Singin' in the Rain piece, "Make 'em laugh" with Donald O'Connor. The kid does have some taste.
