Too Good to be True!

Saturday night Matt and I went to a party at The American Club, called Carnival.  It is an annual party at the club, but this is the first one we have gone to.  It was lots of fun!

Now, it  must be documented that SUNDAY, MARCH 7th is a day for the Diamond history book.  Today is the first day that all three kids played together without fighting (well, mostly anyway) and enjoyed each other for an entire day.  Matt and I were feeling a bit tired from staying out too late Saturday night, so we were immensely excited about today being the day that our lives became easier.  There have been intermittent times of playing together and entertaining each other, but today was what we dreamed of when we had the kids so close together.  We stayed inside all morning (something we have never done) because the three of them were enjoying playing inside together so much.  It was truly awesome.  We also want to document that all three were the happiest little pieces of perfection today.  Even if this never happens again, we will remember today and have evidence.

Photographic evidence...

1) Playing ball together (and not fighting/crying/screaming while sharing one ball):

2) Random acts of love:

3) Ainsley leading the troops in reasoning through a mild disagreement:

4) Jack chillin' in his house and not freaking out when the girls either include or disclude him, depending on his mood:

5) The girls jumping on Ainsley's bed together:

6) The girls came out of their room at the same time with panties on their head.  Even though we have no idea what sparked the idea, it was hilarious because they made a huge game out of hiding their faces in their panties and it was really funny:

7) Jack enjoying a homemade chocolate chip cookie and actually stayed off of the carpets without throwing a fit:

Kara is starting to use the toilet more.  She really hates a wet diaper and that seems to be motivating her.  Jack has apparently been paying attention because he is starting to use the toilet too.  Today he used it totally unprompted.  There are no expectations from us, just enjoying progress no matter how small.

Jack's vocabulary is starting to improve.  He can say Kara and Jack now, but still can't say Ainsley.  Kara can say Ainsley really well and says it ALL the time.  She really looks up to her big sister.

The Wizard of Oz is back.  If our day jobs don't pan out, we can always hussle people in a game of Wizard of Oz trivia.
