Our Little Toddler

Life with a toddler can be quite amusing and today was definitely one of those days. Rachel dined alone today during lunch because I was over on the couch feeding Audrey. Once I was done feeding Audrey I came over to check out Rachel's empty plate. She had informed me that she was done. Her plate was empty, but the edge of the table wasn't. It's kind of hard to tell but along the edge of the table are tiny pieces of cheese. I believe I gave her 2 slices of cheese and she proceeded to break them up into smaller pieces and decorate the table. No wonder I'm always attacking our lovely Ikea table (can you hear the sarcasm?) with glass cleaner to clean it up. After cleaning up the cheese we headed upstairs to take naps. Audrey was already asleep. She takes her afternoon nap in the pack 'n play in with me so Rachel can get a decent nap. Rachel knows that if she wakes up from her nap and the door to mommy's room is still closed, she's supposed to play out in the hallway until Audrey and I come out. Well, she is quite the obedient child when it comes to this. There have been several occasions when Audrey has woken up and we've discovered Rachel out in the hallway. However, today's discovery was worth taking a picture. Audrey woke up around 2:30 and that is how we found Rachel. It's now 3:30 and she's still sound asleep up there. Rachel really is a pretty obedient toddler. We can't claim good parenting skills, we just got lucky with her. It will be interesting to see what Audrey has in store for us....

Taytum was and still is very obedient. We got lucky with her too. She is a great big sister and example to her brothers!

Wow...that is amazing! We leave a gate on Connor's room to remind him to stay in there until we come to get him but usually after about 5 minutes of playing by himself I start to hear the incessant, "Mommy? Mama? Mom? Mommy? I done." :)
