Drool

Alex and Dom drool.

All of the time it would seem.

Long strings of it that soak the fronts of their shirts, and leave wet spots on you when they give hugs.

I mean I guess you would expect this, they are toddlers after all. Plus I have been known to drool a little myself (OK, a lot, I leave wet spots on my pillows at night).

So why is this a big deal.

Well up until two weeks ago, Kevin and I had never seen either of them drool.

Not one drop.

Tube feeding your kids will do that I guess. And now that they eat with their mouths, well let's just say, I'll keep the drooling to never go back to the tubes.

We are 15 days no tube feeds, and loving every drooly covered minute of it!

You win some, You loose some

Last night we put the boys down at 7:30pm... and they stayed put and (relatively) quiet and asleep in their cribs until 7am. This is a huge win after nearly a month of 5am wake ups. Sure Kevin did a gavage feed around midnight, and then I did another little one when the boys decided to be awake (ish) at 4am. But the moral of the story is we're on track for a 7:30 or 8pm bed time tonight, in hopes of maybe a good simple sleep until like 6 tomorrow.

That was the win.

The loss was that Alex's diaper gave up on life and opened up inside his sleeper during the wee hours of the morning. So when he pooped as I lifted him out of his crib at 7, only 20% landed in the diaper.

The rest stayed in the sleeper.

It was not a small poop either.

I'm not sure what is worse, the poop, or the fact that the walmart purchased sleeper contained it like plastic.

Oh well.

Here's to nap time.
