Tree is up. Callum helped decorate it. All the ornaments he put on the tree are clustered in a couple of spots at his reach. He is now into pulling some of them off and loading them into his dump trucks. Hours of entertainment. We have had to barricade the tree with the boys toy boxes b/c Lucas is just so eager to get a the tree. Have left a bare spot for him so that he can reach and touch the tree when he wants.
Lucas is waving and clapping now. He is saying "mama" continuously but it's more when he wants food then for addressing me. He has 6 teeth now and just turned 9 months today.
Callum hasn't been the easiest boy to get to bed and actually sleep for the past week. Wondering if a nap in the afternoon will have to stop.
Our routine for getting the boys to bed in the same room is that we get them both ready around 7 pm and setup Callum's night light in the room. We let Callum play for a little bit in the living room while we give Lucas his bottle. Lucas then goes to bed very easily just after 7 pm. We then read Callum 2 stories in the living room and get him in bed by around 7: 30 pm. By that time Lucas is fast asleep and usually will not waken if we are not noisy (Callum has differing opinions on this one and will sometimes chose to yell, I think on purpose). We sing Callum 2 Old McDonalds and then 2 Twinkle Twinkles. This usually does it so that Colin and I have the rest of the evening to ourselves. Callum has been very restless and noisy this past week after he is in bed. He comes out of his room usually a few times with some excuse like needing socks on or that he needs more water in his cup or his pillow needs to be turned around. Something is going to have to change.
