BE NICE

I swear Kieran thinks his name is "Be Nice". I use this expression with the boys when they are torturing one another. It just sounds so much better than saying "No" all the time. Kieran LOVES to pull Rowans long locks of hair. He gets a fist full and throws Rowans head around like a rag doll. I find myself saying "be nice" at least 20 times a day. Kieran knows instantly, and lets go of Rowans hair, but I swear the kid only responds to it. He never turns around for his own name like Rowan does.

They are getting big, I was looking back through old post today to find the actual month they started to sleep longer than 3 hours. It was odd to see them small and helpless, how quickly we forget. Rowan is like a bull around the house. He crawls fast and can pull up on anything. Kieran is a slower crawler but boy does he destroy things. He loves to grab at everything, I often find random objects strewn about. At the end of the evening when dinner is done and the boys are in bed I have to collect all my things; bowls, pots, keys, blankets, pot holder anything within his grasp. He once had the silverware holder for the dishwasher half way across the house before I noticed it was gone.

We are going through some major teething. I say we since I am the sympathetic teether who is up all night with one child or the other. The top teeth have poked through on Kieran but Rowan's are just starting. The teething has gotten them off of that beautiful sleep schedule I enjoyed for about two weeks. Hopefully once these teeth are all the way in, we can return to some normalcy in the sleep department.
