Kara has officially won the Gold medal in the Diamond house for being the first of the twins to sleep all night. Most baby books consider a consecutive 6 or 8 hour stretch to be "sleeping through the night" but in our house we don't count it a win until they can sleep 12 hours, meaning we don't hear a peep from bedtime to wake up time. Last night Kara slept from 7:15pm to 7:00am. It was nothing short of a miracle in our minds and we are over the moon with excitement. Kara would like to thank the little people (Jack & Ainsley) for keeping their disruptions to a minimum so that she could perform to this level. Jack only woke up once at 2:30am and Ainsley managed to make it all night without one of her unexplained night wakings. Today the sky is a little more blue, the birds are chirping, the grass is greener, and their is a blue bird on my shoulder.
We were rewarded with a good night's sleep because we played a little game we call the Positive Game last night. It is not always an easy game to play, but we had a really hard afternoon with all of the kids so we sat down after all the kids were in bed and played our little game. The rules are that you can only say positive things and they must be something about our family of five. The karma gods were listening to us. Now, if we could just get the forces of good to help little Jack make it through a day without his endless crying and carrying on!
I was in Australia most of last week but now Matt and I have very little travel over the next month. It will be nice to enjoy being all together. Ainsley is sure happy to have momma and dadda both at home. She continues to like her gymnastics class and it seems to be helping her with her courage to climb all over the furniture at home. Makes me nervous with these dang marble floors we have here!!!
We have been horrible at taking photos lately. We promise to improve this week :-)
