Rookie Mistakes

I'm so glad that this is the last night that J will be out of town. Tonight was a rough one. It started out well enough and we had a great dinner then it was bath time...

Evelyn was into giving kisses to William tonight during his bath. I don't know why I thought this was a good idea however he was close to the side of the tub and she didn't have to lean much. then he moved away from the side of the tub and I told her to wait to give him any more kisses until he was out of the bath but of course she didn't listen so she fell face first into the tub. She didn't seem to be hurt and was just a little shaken as I fished her out of her brother's bath. Really that would have been enough however as I was comforting her and drying her off her brother fell down to (something he has never done before in the bath tub). So neither of them were very happy though even William calmed down fairly quickly when I took him out. I was so done with bath time!

He didn't do to badly going down for bed though about halfway through Evelyn's bath he screamed for a little bit. and try as I might I could not rush Evelyn out of the tub (I was not about to leave her there alone) So William stopped on his own and fell asleep which I suppose is a good thing. I guess I should be thankful that her fall did not frighten her away from taking baths and I still had to remind her not to jump in the bath tub.

I thought I was in good shape after the bath time debacle when after reading Evelyn went to bed after only getting up once and I would have been right had I not gone and opened her bedroom door. Really she had been quiet so I thought she was asleep - famous last words... She was clearly awake and after seeing the door opened (and hearing me leave a message for daddy) thought it was playtime again. Let me tell you it does not take much to get this kid wound up. Talking to Daddy does not help. She was up until 10 running in and out of her bedroom like a little Jack in the Box.
