Not up to much

We'll I haven't posted this week at all so I thought I'd just let everyone know we're doing well. We've been adjusting to the new schedule still. I think this week has been a bit tougher than last week. We've been going out to the mall in the mornings, but now they're starting to expect that. We stayed home Wednesday morning and they were both little terrors. They'd go to the door and say "Let's go!". When I told Jake "no", he immediately fell to the floor crying. They're also having a hard time napping; I think they're a little restless. But by Friday, hopefully, we figured out our new routine. We had gym class first thing Friday morning and got back to the house around 10:30. I sat them down for a quick snack and then we were off playing happily. Yeah! Lunch came at 11:45 and then we played until nap time. They did okay during the nap and each only woke once during the time period they're supposed to be down. Now, the afternoon was another story. Abby was super cranky. I don't know if she was still tired and should have slept a bit more or what. We went out to play after they got up from naps, but when we came in for supper she was not happy. She then slammed her finger in a drawer (again, not happy!) and then after that any little thing would make her burst into tears. Even singing Old MacDonald.

That's actually funny - if she's in a bad mood, you can't sign this song. Not sure why, but it makes her burst into tears every time. John got to see this first hand Thursday night. She fell pretty hard and got a bruise on her chest from falling onto a toy. He took her outside to help her calm down and then brought her back in to play. She was doing great until he decided to sing Old MacDonald. He got to "EIEIO" and she made a horrible pout. He sang again, not sure if the pout was for him or not and she cried. I calmed her down and he tried again (not really believing it was him or the song making her cry I guess). She burst into tears and couldn't be consoled this time. Now he knows. Don't sing this song when she's upset!!!
