I think they understand...

...how frustrated I was with them. They have slept right through for SIX nights in a row. They go to bed at 7:30pm - no crying or fussing. They wake up around 7:30am and laugh and play with each other until I go in and get them at 8am. They eat up all their breakfast, lunch and dinner. They even ate quiche yesterday (big steps in our house!). They ask nicely for drinks and snacks and they are sharing with each other. All week they have napped after lunch which I must admit is quite enjoyable. I find it breaks up the day much better than when they would nap and be up for the rest of the day by 11:30am. It's been a bit of a fight to keep Leah up but she's been better with each passing day. They've been napping for 2.5 hours. The house is clean, the laundry is done and dinners are much improved (right John?!). They are in very good moods and there isn't much crying of any kind. They are picking up new words like crazy now. All in all they are much more enjoyable - or maybe I'm just not exhausted. Jackson has also stopped whining and is eating her new food. This can't last but I do enough complaining here that I thought I should give the 3 of them some credit for their excellent behaviour this week!
