Well, it wasn't really manic, but it was fun! This morning both kids woke around 8:30AM with WET beds! Yikes! I had some extra work to do before the day even began! Zack had a late night out watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and had his last cup of water at 10:00PM. He was doomed! LOL Mom was in bed snoozing while Auntie and Uncle took Josh, Kenny and Zack to the movie. So, it wasn't a normal occurence (the first time). Sophia typically wets, but wears a pull up. This time she leaked though! Stephanie said, "NOW, do you feel like a mom"? "Um, YES"!
After baths, and their yummy breakfast, both played in their room for 2 hours and got along smashingly well. I check on them every 5 or 10 minutes and of course can hear everything going on in the room. They are very safe. I have been trying to train them to play in there for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, and it seems to be working out very well.
After they played so well, we went to the park where we had lunch and played some more. I took the silly string, but they were having so much fun that I forgot about it! Tomorrow... I am happy to say that when the ice cream truck music played, they both jumped up and down and begged for money for Skittles! HA HA HA! And, this time Momma said, "No, not this time." They happily went back to playing.
Here are some pics! Sophia really is trying to climb as high as Zack can, and she spent a good 30 minutes trying the same climb again and again and again so that she could get as high as Zack. She never did, but she has drive (and a stubborn streak). I let her fall a SHORT distance a couple of times to try to teach her that she has limits to what she can do, but she just kept climbing. My fear is that when I am not around she will try something not considering the consequences of falling and end up in the emergency room. I will continue to use short falls to help her learn her limits.

Peek a Boo!

Peek a Choo????
He's got a thing with the ears! Perhaps a role in an up and coming Lord of the Rings episode?
Zack was proud that he could hang with one arm for a very long time! He asked me to take his pic...It sounded like this, lkjoihioho ohoihihoih kjojoijhoh smateneetzia! This is our life right now! Deep conversations!
Sophia poses like a girlie girl!
And, she tries to climb up to her brother giving momma cardiac arrest! This here would NOT be considered a short fall!
Here they were swinging for a long time giggling with every push of the bottom!

Okay Deana, get that ER doctor on the speed dial. Ashley was my kid for falling, breaking and all kinds of fun stuff. I knew the urgent care doc pretty well. It's all part of the fun of parenting active kids. My prayers, love and hugs are with you! And my been there done that giggles!!
