Every time I read something about twins older than my own, I get a little worried. I am sure that once he figures out how, Ian will be climbing out of his crib. The combination of fearless and physically adept is not turning out to be so fun to deal with! Wow. Every time I read something about twins older than my own, I get a little worried.

I like seeing the logical process you went through with both Tiny and Buba in figuring things out. I hope everything gets back to normal soon. And as far as the soother goes, you might be able to ask TRU to match Amazon's price if you decide to buy a monkey for Buba. Or I have a few 20% off coupons, and I'll be glad to send you one. Or, do you think Tiny is attached to the monkey? Would she be just as happy with the fish? (I realize you may not want to experiment to find out, huh?!)

I'll be curious to hear if Buba really was after the monkey... good luck! Seems like you had Tiny’s number. I’ll be curious to hear if Buba really was after the monkey… good luck!

We got them as replacements for another type we had that stopped working when they were around 2ish. They still love them at 4.9 years. I think having nightlights that they can control in the middle of the night makes them feel more secure. If you do decide you need one at the last minute, I think they have them at Target. I don't know the price, but I'm sure it is less than Toys R Us. I think it’s funny that our girls have those exact same soothers mounted on the walls above their beds.

Alex was being really, really bad after we put them to bed for a bit. She was kicking the wall, yelling, screaming, just being BAD. And Wes's office is right back there where he sits for a few before we start our evening of tv watching. Well, Wes kept going back there, and back there...every single time she did anything bad he went back. We decided it was not helping, but hurting the situation. We decided to let her just do it, get it out of her system, and not "play" us. Which was indeed what she was doing. We never, ever go in there now. Unless its really important (and we can normally tell) so after about 15 minutes of jabbering, (which I think is normal when you share a room right?) they go right to sleep. Now the night wakings? We don't have those. They sleep every single night all the way through...I'm scared of when it will end. ;) Sorry for the novel! I think you handled that so awesomely. ;) Craziness!!! :) I just read that whole entire thing, and I think your handling it soooo well!!
