Resting Time...
The boys for the most part have given up naps. This is both good and bad. Good things include; early bed time and more flexibility within our day. Bad things include; rough afternoon from about 2:00 on, limits what we can do in the evenings (which for our ministry is really tough). They still have a regular one hour "rest" time in the day so we can all mellow for a bit. Sometimes they still sleep, yesterday was one of those great days:)
Today I got them both in their places for resting time. Eli gets the boy's room and Dom gets our room. After somewhere around 30 min I heard commotion from both rooms. Let me interrupt and say I've heard it said that toddler years are the precursor to teenage years, today I truly believe it. Dom had found a fresh roll of T.P. and decided to practice his T.P. skills for his teen years. He managed to unroll that sucker in a matter of minutes! A huge heaping pile of T.P. was there to greet me when I walked into the room. Awesome. Then I heard a crash from the other room. Eli decided to practice his climbing skills, I think this kid is going to do extreme sports of some kind. First, when I entered the room I was hit with poopy diaper stink, nasty! Second thing I noticed was that Eli was sitting in the top drawer of his dresser looking at me with big owl eyes. I quickly scanned the rest of the room to calculate other damage. He climbed the dresser to reach all the thing on the top bunk including the ladder. Somehow he managed to pull that off without falling and it hit the overhead light scattering bits of light bulb all over the room which happened to be sprinkled over the heaps of clothes that once occupied the drawer that Eli was sitting in.
Somehow I missed the secret signals at lunch today indicating today was the day:)
