So it's official. We have 2 walkers. William is off and running, with Little D not far behind. He couldn't let big (little) brother show him up and decided to get in on this "walking" actione.
So far, it's been ok with 2 walkers. Of course, give me a week or 2 and I'll be complaining in short order. Chasing after 2 kids going in different directions doesn't sound fun, but having to shlep and hold 2 toddlers isn't fun either, so we'll see. Right now, it's just downright cute.
Having all 3 kids in the same room to sleep was getting a bit crazy (Sofia was waking them up and keeping them up until 9 and beyond) and encouraging all sorts of shenanigans, so being the sleep nazi's that we are, we had no choice but to move Sofia out of the nursery. As anyone who's been to our house knows, there aren't too many options for space, so instead of moving Sofia into the "shack" (kidding, I kid), we moved her toddler bed into our bedroom. After a few rough (on me) early mornings (the light was waking her up) it's working out quite well. That girl has always loved her sleep and once she's out, she's *out.* They boys are back to going down without a huge fuss and she is now going to bed much easier as well.
It's a temporary situation, I keep reminding myself of that. We are in the process of clearing out the house and putting stuff in storage to get it ready to sell in either late summer or fall. It's a process. I plan on taking some time off in the next few weeks (sans kids - thank you, Laura) to really dig in and get some things done. How I am going to have a house on the market with 3 kids is beyond me, but it has to be done. We plan on doing restricted hours, appointment only, etc. In this market, wish us luck, 'cause we're going to need it.
Oh yeah -- Sofia is now in the midst of potty training! She went to school with panties today -- for the first time -- and stayed dry. Huge milestone. Huge. We're using a sticker chart...She starts swim lessons in a few weeks and other than a weekend trip to Sacramento, we plan on having a "Staycation" this summer, concentrating what little free time we have with doing what needs to be done around the house - which is a lot.
