A Couple of New Experiences

The girls wanted to have a sleepover this weekend. I guess I should say, the big girl did. She seems to think that the twins have a sleepover without her because they are in the same room. She has asked over and over again to join them in their room. Surprisingly, Daddy gave in on a night when I was working. He had put the girls down and after reading Savannah stories, gave in to her request of a sleepover. Out the blowup bed came down Savannah went on her sister's floor.

They slept fine and the twins didn't wake up to the commotion of getting Savannah settled. Unfortunately, I had someone at my bedside at 6:50 a.m. stating, "Lila's thirsty Mommy." No one in this house is awake at 6:50, let alone thirsty. I think Savannah woke up early and decided to have her sisters join her. She claims she didn't wake them though. We ended up pulling Savannah in our bed and told the girls to lay back down. Thankfully, we were able to squeak another hour of sleep out them. Not sure if any of the girls slept, but the parents did.

On a completely different note, I let the girls try a lollipop last night after dinner. Many of therapist have wanted to start this. It helps oral motor development and brings down the oversensitivity in their mouths. I am not a fan of giving small kids candy, chips, and soda etc. They have the rest of their lives to dive into the junk foods. I gave in last night in hopes that Adeline would start to move her mouth around in new ways.




The verdict, Lila loved her lollipop but tried to bite it. My biggest fear. Adeline didn't really like hers. She tried it out for awhile but than began touching it with her fingers etc. which completely grosses me out. Way too much stick for me. In the end, she decided eating the wrapper was better than the eating the lollipop anyway. I think I am going to stick with my gut and keep them off of candy until at least three.
