Do you all like when I share every detail
\n of the day? :) After my cranky post earlier I let the kids get
\n up with no naps. I thought it would be a slow afternoon, but
\n maybe an early bedtime. I got lucky! The afternoon wasn’t bad,
\n Eve fussed and used her baby talk (drives me crazy!) a lot, but
\n Lex zoned out into playdoh for about an hour and then cleaned
\n it all up afterwards! After a calm dinner (only spilled two
\n cups of milk, not too bad!) and a nice bath, we packed the
\n suitcase, read stories, brushed teeth and went to bed. All by
\n 7pm :) I laid down with Lex, as usual, and a very tired Eve
\n started bouncing in her bed. Lex and I discussed how
\n frustrating it was that she won’t be quiet and I gave him the
\n option of me staying with him and ignorning her, or me going to
\n lay down with her instead and hopefully keeping her quiet. He
\n said, “go keep her quiet!” So I did. I cuddled with Eve and
\n talked her through relaxing her body. I told her to relax her
\n legs because they have worked hard all day. I said how they
\n carried her around and climbed the ladders at the playground,
\n and ran up the stairs, etc. When she stopped bouncing her legs
\n I moved on to her arms, then all the way up the body to her
\n eyes and finally her ears. Believe it or not, it worked! After
\n about 5 minutes she was calm and still and within 10 she was
\n asleep!!! Maybe that’s our secret! Or maybe no naps… but I’m
\n not ready for that yet, especially since Lex still wants them!
\n Whatever it was, I’m enjoying the peace and quiet
\n tonight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
