Sadly we are now a crib-free house. Last Thursday morning Drew woke up crying - it was the "I've lost my pacifier" cry. It was early so I went in, gave him back the binky, and left. He was irate. The next thing I know I hear the door open and he storms down the hall to my room to tell me that he did not appreciate my dismissal of his needs (I needed to sleep til 7 - what about my needs?). Dane promptly followed suit so now every morning between 5:30 and 6:15 they are up and ready for the day. We are trying the gate at the door and toys in the room. Still waiting for them to catch on to "please play quietly in your room until 7am" but we will keep trying. Today it took an hour to get them to nap for 50 lousy minutes. The cribs are gone and I suspect the naps are next. Just when we get in a great routine...
