1 Step Forwad, 2 Steps Back

Ahhh - regression has hit us hard. Jake the hardest. Jake has started getting into things and doing things he hasn't done in a while since I've had Lily. We climb the couches, the TV, throw our plates and food, and we don't nap anymore. I've always heard regression in regards to potty training which is why I didn't even venture to potty train before Lily came, but I didn't even think about it in regards to other behaviors. Arg!
My mom heads back to her life on Tuesday next week :-( I'm thinking that maybe once she leaves and it's just the four of us at home during the week, things will slowly get back to normal. Maybe. He'll still have to adjust to Lily being around and getting attention from me, but hopefully he'll start listening a bit more and being less defiant.
I also have to figure out the best way to get out of the house with the three of them by myself so we aren't locked in doors all week (although with the weather warming up, we'll be in the backyard more for sure!). The twins still need their regular activities and outlets so hopefully we can get back into that soon. We used to do stuff every morning just about during the week!
