As promised, here is a picture of the twins' new "playroom!" We've relegated most of the their toys to this dog free zone. There is a nice soft mat under the whole area that should make it easier once they start to crawl and pull up to standing. We also got them these little chairs - so funny how they sit up and laugh at each other! Of course, nothing entertains either one for very long - but it's all about containment!
Last week I decided it was time for everyone to get some more sleep! So we started following our schedule VERY carefully. Three naps a day at very specific times and no more than 3 hours of sleep during the day. We've cut back to five "meals" a day (two featuring a bottle and solid food) and baths as part of our nightly bedtime routine. It's a lot of work - and we're definitely not as flexible as we were - but I'm happy to say that we've had three good nights in a row - the babies have slept until 6:30 or later the last three mornings with minimal waking (and no feedings) during the night. So I guess we'll be sticking to that schedule! I'm sure the solid food is helping, too but at this point, I don't want to change a thing!
Lucky little babies. They have it all. Lucky parents getting some rest at night.
ReplyDeleteHooray--sleeping thru the night at last!!! What a difference that will make for everyone. I love the little seats--they look sooo cute in them. Will I still be able to carry them around or will they be too heavy?
