Well, my monkey children never cease to amaze me. G2 and G3 have learned how to climb out of the play pen (I will try to get a video of it sometime). Since we have all still been staying in the same room (the girls' and our bedrooms are taking longer than we had anticipated) we have been having trouble getting the kids to nap in the afternoon. We decided we needed to get the girls out of the bedroom. So, we put them in the playpen in their room. G1 took a nice nap today. But the girls didn't sleep a wink (although they were way over-tired). I had to keep going up to give G3 her "Happy thing" because G2 kept taking it from her and throwing it out. Which in turn made G3 scream her head off until I went up to help her. A little before the time that I generally go up to get them out of bed I heard some little thumps. So I went running upstairs to see what was going on. Much to my surprise the girls were standing outside of the play pen. I then put them back in and they immediately climbed out again!! ARGH!
We will be getting Mom's play pen to use for one of the girls at naptime now. Hopefully that will help. But of course who knows if they will even stay in them. I wish G1 would just let those girls sleeps so I could keep them in the crib during naptime.
I am going to post how big around I am so maybe that will help me to remember to measure. I will probably try to measure on the days that Matt takes pictures and just post with the pictures. But since I did not do that on Wednesday I will post today for Wednesday. I am measuring 44.5 inches around. (I just realized that that is almost 4 feet! Holy cow!!) That is up 3.5 inches from March 4th.
They sure are little monkeys!! good luck with that...I hate skipped naps, that's the worst! Hopefully their newfound skill will lose some of its excitement and they'll decide to stay in their playpens (at least some of the time :) and nap. And when you say you're almost 4 feet around...wow, haha! that really puts being pregnant in perspective!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how big around I finally got with the twins but I know it was at least 52 inches so that's more than 4 feet. Can you imagine if I would have gone full-term with them? I think I would have been as big around as I am tall! And you had good sized babies so I can only imagine how big around you got!
