Both kids were asleep tonight shortly after nine! That has NEVER happened before! You'd think I would be appreciating it by going to sleep myself, but: no.
Quinn has been really testing boundaries lately! It is really hard to hold back the laughter at some of the stuff he pulls! Here is an example:
We had a (fun) busy day today, and Quinn went without a nap (translation: he was really acting out). We had been playing kind of wild and he was having a hard time settling down- as happens when you are two. Miles was laying on the floor in the living room when Quinn came running in at full speed. Out of nowhere he says, "Quinn sit Miles," and he SAT ON THE BABY! Of course I grabbed Quinn as fast as I could and put him in time out. (Miles was fine and only cried because I scared him when I yelled at Quinn.) When I went back to talk to him before letting him leave time out I explained, "It is not okay to sit on Miles. He is a baby and babies are fragile. That means they can get hurt easier than big kids can. Do you understand?" Quinn thought about it for a long time. Then he looked at me with his big brown eyes and said in the softest, sweetest voice, "But Mommy... Quinn want sit Miles."
