So, as the kids get older, it turns out parenting does not get easier. It's nice that they can feed themselves and sleep through the night....But we've been trying to figure out issues.
Here's one: James decided he wants to get up and out of bed at 4:30 or 5:00 AM!!! For about 2 months. Sometimes he just occupies himself downstairs by reading, coloring, etc. However, he has meltdowns mid morning but won't take a nap. So, what to do?? We moved him to a twin sized bed thinking maybe he wasn't comfortable in a smaller bed. Didn't work that well. Then we tried spanking. That didn't work so well either so then, Alex would go back to bed with James and make him lay down. That happened for about a week and it didn't really work. So, besides tying your kids to the bed, what do you do?? I don't know what happened, but he just started sleeping in till 7 again. Just like that.....I don't attribute that to good parenting but God's grace.
And No, James did not have a boo-boo on his head. He just likes to pretend there's one and put band-aid's on.

So did he just go downstairs by himself? Cami always wants to put a bandade on her knee. I think she thinks he knee's name is boo boo.
