A peacefully napping Bubita
This is one of the cutest things she does
We actually had a pretty quiet day today on purpose. This entire week it's felt like we've been on the road. With children every trip takes twice as long especially if it includes a little one that NEEDS to eat every 2-3 hours. Add to that the extra hour of driving time, without traffic, that we must add because of our new home location. And of course the 105+ degree weather does add an extra little something to the equation. It's just draining.
Bubeaner got really excited when he found this "book."
He immediately knew it was football!
But we did not mind the quiet day. We had a relaxed morning. Bubeaner played a bit, Bubita ate and slept pretty well, and Momma got some little items done around the house. We even managed to eat a quiet lunch together. Afterwards, Bubeaner AND Bubita both took nice 3 hour naps allowing Momma to finally get to organize her closet. The afternoon went in pretty much the same manner. We were all relaxed and just enjoying the day. Then something happened. Our peaceful, calm and rested children morphed into cranky, fussy and crying little tyrants. We are still struggling to figure out what happened.
Momma told him to read to Sandy.
He apparently thought she could read it herself.
He handed her the book.
Bubeaner ended up deciding to read it to Sandy in the end.
All we know is suddenly, Dad is struggling to calm Bubita while he cleans her and himself from the poop incident and Momma is dealing with an unhappy and misbehaving Bubeaner who suddenly refuses to sleep in his room or anywhere for that matter.
Bubita's new nickname:
Chunk-a-Chunk
Her unofficial weight: 10 lbs!
(on our scale at home)
Plans for a book club meeting were scrapped. The TV was forgotten on pause at the first five minutes of the game. Dad drank his dinner in the form of an Ensure while dealing with Bubita crying. And Momma shared her glamorous cold and flavorless ramen noodle dinner cup with a suddenly starving Bubeaner.
Bubeaner was very helpful, putting books away,
during the earlier part of the day.
Thankfully, there is one thing that is guaranteed; they are human (though sometimes we wonder) and will eventually run out of steam. So, it's just a case of making it just a little longer than them. And as expected, Bubeaner succumbed first. Granted he ended up back in the pack-and-play in our room, but he at least finally fell asleep. Bubita, stubborn little punk that she is, lasted the longest. It's currently 1030p and she's finally asleep. Though, she too is not in her bed. She's currently resting on a pillow on Momma's lap as this entry is being typed. She starts crying the moment she's placed in her bassinet.
We thought they were so cute. They were probably planning their
strategy for the evening. It was all down hill after this picture.
And it's not so much how late they stayed up that's the problem. We can easily stay up later on our own watching a movie, reading or talking. It's just that when they are up and crying and fussy, they have the power to drain the life force out of you. At those times, a minute feels like an hour. Though they sure are adorable when they finally fall asleep. So peaceful!
THE MANY FACES OF BUBITA:
Hmm, what shall I do today to push Momma's buttons....
I forgot what I was thinking about,
but my fingers are yummy.
Momma don't distract me!
I am working on a plan for world domination!
Man, all this thinking has really worn me out.

Usually if you go one size up in diaper it will work for overnight if you're having leak issues (so from size 1 to size 2).
