Loveys

We have LOTS of security items at our house. We call them "loveys". I think it is safe to say...it is out of control.









There are blankets and fifis (pacifiers), stuffed animals and baby dolls. The triplets have taken "loveys" to a new level.
Here is a rundown...

Jocelyn: Pingo baby and mama (stuffed penguins), "Pollie" (stuffed polar bear) and three blankets, which are put on her in a certain order.
Farrah: Four "baby Janes" (Bitty Babys. Hers and all three of her sisters they sleep at her feet), three stuffed monkeys, a naked Barbie, a hard plastic horse (for Barbie) a reindeer ornament (it's legs, tail, antlers and ears are broken off from being dropped) they all sleep next to her, heads on her pillow and five blankets, four for her and one for the baby janes.
Silvie: Two stuffed white tigers, a small tiger, twelve sheets of paper with alligators drawn on them, "Fiona" pez dispenser, Red Nosed Reindeer book, alligator squishy times two, three Santa ornaments all of which are ON her pillow and six blankets, one covering all of her "loveys" and five for her. Oh, and Silvie's blankets have to go in a specific order, NO EXCEPTIONS.
The bedtime routine makes me very tired...and they will NOT sleep until everything is in "it's" place.

No Sickies

I am happy to report that the "puke in the crib" incident was isolated. All four are healthy. (Knock on wood.) I cannot say how grateful I am of healthy children.
It seems as though the triplet Beauties are going through some type of bedtime boycott. Every night for the last week, they are doing a lot of stalling at bedtime. They are sitting on their potties for extended periods of time while going through the bedtime prep. Using the "I poop" excuse. But they don't poop. Then it's many random items to their beds, you know, papers with alligators on them (about ten sheets covered in gators that Grammy drew) multiple stuffties, extra blankets, extra pillows, dollies (not just one doll either. Farrah had seven in her bed tonight) matchbox cars, any and every penguin stufftie in the house, all items having to be perfectly placed. Covered, recovered and then covered again. Crying for a while. Then the final stage...talking. Tonight they were not quiet until after ten. Good thing we have cribs tents. I love the crib tents.
Here's to hoping that the easy to sleep stage comes back to us soon.
