A few days before the girls turned 1 year old I decided to drop their morning nap. Emily had been taking great morning naps but fighting...aka screaming...for the afternoon nap so I figured why not try it.
Its been about a week and they have been doing very well. I can tell around the 11:00 hour (which is lunch time) they are getting sleepy. Twice Emily has layed on the ground and fell asleep. Mandy will start to rub her eyes. Sometimes I have to work to keep them awake but after they eat they seem to get a second wind and from 11-12 they play and are happy. At noon I put them down and hardly hear a peep from them. They nap 1 1/2 - 2 hours and then go to bed at 7:00
Its been nice because it really frees up our morning and every day this week we have gone to the park around 8:30. Today I met a really nice women who started talking to me about the girls. She asked if we were trying for twins. First time I have ever gotten that question! No, we weren't trying for twins but we are blessed to have them!! I overheard some other Moms talking about us. I heard her tell someone that she has a friend who has twin girls and they are a lot of work. Yes mam....they are!!
Since the girls have turned 1 year old we have turned their car seats forward facing. Its making for a much happier Emily and a much saner Mommy while I'm driving
