I just arrived back from Atlanta for work where it's nice to get a full night's sleep but not worth the grumpy husband on the other end of the phone. Poor Carlos had the babies for 3 evenings!
In addition to my travels we've had some of Carlos' family friends from Chile staying with us for the last few weeks. I'm pretty sure they thought we are crazy! Seeing our life with 2 small kids through the eyes of people without kids is comical. Something is always going wrong, some one is always crying or being loud or getting hurt, some one is always waking up at night....On top of that you should have seen the look on the one woman's face when she saw the pile of lumber that my husband made me carry up three flights of stairs in the freezing cold. I haven't seen some one so mortified in a long time.
The boys are doing well. Last night our little monster Charlie refused to wear his diaper to bed. We put him in bed with the diaper on and 10 min. later he yelled down that he took it off. This happened 3 or 4 times before we decided that he won and let him go to sleep without a diaper. When he was totally passed out I put a diaper on him. I brought him Fanta flavored chapstick from the Coke store because they don't have much else for kids (they aren't allowed to market to kids) and he slept with it under his pillow. He LOVES chapstick - which he calls "lipstick."
My bag of sugar Diego survived my travel, but not happily and now he has a cold.
Here are some pictures from the last 2 weeks....It seems that Charlie still fits in the Bjorn....just not very well:
We played tour guide and went to Mount Vernon:
I caught half of the alphabet on video:
I'm really glad that I installed a gate at the bottom of the stairs. Here is Charlie sliding under the handrail to climb up the stairs. And yes...he does it all the time.
