Well, I Guess It’s A Good Thing We Already Have Twins
Last Tuesday night my daughter, who had taken to refusing to go to sleep until 10:00, kicked her father in the testicles as he tried to get her down.

Ouch. We’ve had that happen, too.

Man, she sure is learning early!

Jayden did that to me the other day. It took all the love I have for him for me not to throw him down the stairs. Especially as I lay there wincing and sick to my stomach and he was laughing at me because he thought it was funny.

I know that I really shouldn’t laugh but the boys have done that to the RO so many times and he never learns to cover his tackle! (Of course some of those moments are chosen purely because his hands are busy doing something else, like making food or mixing bottles :-))

Was last night any better?

Ouch! She is learning early how to get a man’s attention when she doesn’t like something.
Don’t tell him I said that. No man would like that comment.

Hi, just responding to your post about sleeping (or better not sleeping) a few post ago. How old are your twins now? Are they maybe teething?
I don’t know if this will work for you, but just telling how we did it.
We never took them out of their cribs/beds when we knew that all was catered for (burped, clean nappie, full tummy, etc). In our idea picking them up would wake them up more then anything else. We didn’t like letting them “cry it out”, but we let them cry for a few minutes. (4 minutes when they are 4 months old, 5 minutes at 5 months old etc). After that you reassure the baby in the cot. Tuck ‘m in, stroke their heads. But don’t talk or make eye contact, cause thet wakes them up too. After that you leave. If they cry you let them cry again for a few minutes. After a while you start to hear the sound change from hysterical to fussy to almost asleep to silent. So don’t go in once you hear the sound change.
Ofcourse it’s more difficult with twins. If they keep on crying you might have to split them up… Our twins still sleep together in the night. Not in the day. One’s crying kept the other one up. And sometimes they just couldn’t stop playing with each other.

Lene, you are right about that.

Was I not supposed to laugh out loud about that? My crazy cat likes to “box” poor H while he’s sitting on the couch. Petey thinks it’s mad funny. H is not a fan.
