Hooray for Andrew!

I am happy to report that Andrew is doing much better. We aren't exactly sure why...maybe the stool regime worked?? Maybe he's adjusting to his new routine and daycare is tiring him out?? But our happy guy is back most of the time again and he slept in his bed the entire night for the past two nights.  Its a small miracle:) So for now, we are holding off on any further workup and will see the pediatrician next week for their 15 month checkup.

We had a great long weekend including a trip to Delaware for their cousin Carson's 6th birthday and their first Gymboree class!  They were absolutely perfect on the way up and back to Delaware and slept the entire way each direction. Carson's party was lots of fun with probably 15 kids, a magician, pin the tail on the donkey, and a pinata. Andrew and Paige toddled around and laughed and clapped when the kids attacked the pinata.  They had a great time!  Monday we took them to try out a Gymboree class.  Wow, did their different personalities shine through! Andrew refused to follow any directions and do any of the initial activities.  All he wanted to do was run free and climb on all the equipment.  If you tried to get him to participate, he would throw himself on the floor and scream - it made us feel like great parents:)  Paige on the other hand followed all the directions and participated in everything but was much more reserved about climbing on the equipment and being adventurous.  They both LOVED circle time in the end though.  They laughed and clapped with the songs, ADORED the parachute activities, and ran after the bubbles.  In the end, we thought it was a success and are thinking about enrolling them in more classes.  Maybe after a few more times, Andrew will be a little more cooperative...or not:)

We also skyped for the first time with Nana and Papa on Monday! Paige seemed to get the concept and readily showed off all her "tricks" on camera.  Andrew was interested for about a minute and then would rather crawl under the desk to pull out the computer cords...what a boy he is:)

Thanks for all the support last week!  We hope to have a turned a corner and are praying for continued restful nights!
