Do you ever notice how kids can communicate in so many different ways? On any given night when we put the kids down to bed, they might put up a small fight and call out for mommy and daddy for a short time. A few nights ago, however, it was all very different.
We had put the kids down and I had gone to play indoor soccer. About 25 minutes after g0ing down, Luke began calling for Alison.
"Mom. Mo-o-o-m. Mo-o-o-o-o-m!" No whining, no crying, not even a pathetic, "mommy" plea. Just "mom".
Alison could tell it wasn't the normal request for attention, but a true, "Could I get some help here?" When she went into their room, lights still off, she went to his bed and began to feel for him. As soon as she found him, she realized he was naked. Once she was by his side, he very matter-of-factly declared, "I peed!"
And he had indeed. He stripped down naked and peed all over his bed. We can't quite figure out why he decided he needed to be naked to go to the bathroom this one time, but once he did he knew he had to find a different way of communication to actually get someone to come to the rescue.
Oh the joys of parenthood!

So glad to share a small part of your day!
The question is...Is it potty training time for little Luke? Aren't you glad that he is learning simple words like "Peed".
I'm not looking forward to those days yet. Although just the other morning when I went to get Kinley up one side of his diaper was undone and he was very free to pee all over everything. Thankfully he did not!
We can relate! Lucy has started taking her jammies off in the morning - as soon as she wakes up, before we even know she's awake. Thankfully, she can't get her onesie and diaper off by herself, yet.
Hey guys. Didn't know you had a blog. The twins are adorable! Hope you are doing well. I was thinking about you the other day, Chad, when I was wishing I had ice cream for a banana milk shake. Yours are the best.
