Interesting Read....

...about sleep schedules, nap times etc. This is something that for us changes with different ages and phases of the kiddies....and changes also with seasons and busy times and events in our lives. I do feel very fortunate that because I stay at home we can be a little more flexible with our schedule. I agreed with a lot of Danielle's and the other comments that sometimes bed time is earlier, sometimes later.....naps can fluctuate but for us, they are a MUST each day. I have changed their schedule several times when there were certain events or trips that I know I needed them to be awake and happy for....the important thing I believe is that they get enough sleep...there are so many kids these days that do not get enough...so enjoy THIS READ, some good tips and tricks that you may be able to use at some time or another. I have a feeling that when this new baby arrives, I will be re-adjusting things again!!

Meltdown Moment

On Sunday when we were driving home from church, Angelica had a meltdown. When the tantrum and screaming wouldn't stop, Miss Emma, who was watching her with that "what is your problem" look...started saying, "Gel-Ka (how she says Angelica), stop it! Gel-Ka, stop it! Cryin, stop!" Angelica, unfortunately, didn't listen. That night when we were at my parent's house for our traditional Sunday dinners...we were repeating this story to everyone. Angelica was listening and when I finished telling everyone what Emma was saying, Angelica added "Yes, but I didn't stop." We all started laughing...but at least she is honest!!
