Received recently from Lisa:
Well, the girls are growing up. We took down their cribs and set up their twin beds. This is their second night in them. When Andy went from the crib to his big bed, he didn't realize he could get out of it by himself for about six months. Not so for the girls. About ten minutes after we put them to bed last night, we went in to check and Amelia was at the foot of Natalie's bed saying, "Come on. Come on."
After about three times of us going in there, they settled down and slept. Until 4 am. At 4 am, I went in there after being woken up by shrieking and giggling and all of their clothes were pulled out of their dresser and on the floor, all of the stuffed animals were in Natalie's bed, and they were both jumping on Natalie's bed. This scenario repeated until 5 am, when I took a sleeping bag and slept on the floor between their beds.
They didn't take a nap today - they redecorated their room instead. And somehow Andy (who was supposed to be taking a nap in his room) ended up locked in their closet.
Tonight, they kept asking to go to bed. We put them to bed an hour early and I went in to check every few minutes. At one point, they were both sitting on their bookshelf swinging their legs and singing "Frere Jacques." Every time I went in, I asked who got out of bed and they blamed each other. I looked under the door at one point and when they heard Larry's footsteps coming down the hall, Amelia raced for her bed and they both laid down and pretended they were sleeping. So far (except for the bookshelf incident) I haven't seen Natalie out of bed. But when I leave, I hear her say "Come here, Amelia. Let's jump. You can do it", so she is not totally innocent.
