My eldest has been acting strange recently. He has been very quick to excite and he has been really cheeky. He often calls Devil boy and I either stupid or silly. Both Devil Boy and I have had enough so I am going to look through some books and see what we can do about that.
On a positive note his sleeping is so much better now. He did come through earlier last night but he did really well, as the weather was windy. Mostly they are good nights that mean it makes it much easier to deal with the challenging nights.
The twins are also getting on really funkily. Their personalities are really developing and it is just so funky to watch them. They play so nicely together as well. It is funny to see them together. I really have been blessed with all of my younglings.

Sickness in the household
There is a bug going around the house so it is very likely that I too wll be ill soon. I do not feel that good at the moment. My youngest son was sick a few nights ago. My eldest son was sick last night and Devil Boy has been sick today.
Thankfully it seems that it is a bug that passes quickly through the system quickly but it will not be nice as it passes through.
I have to make sure that everything is ready quickly tonight so I do not have to worry about it when I am sick. At the moment I am just thinking that the sooner it happens the sooner I can get better.

My eldest was upset in the evening
The night last night went well. The younglings slept well and even though I was chocked up last night by the morning I felt a lot better and I was able to breathe through my nose.
The day went well and the younglings were all funky as well. There were a few moments but generally everything went well. My daughter has taken to a bear that I got recently. She is so nice to it. It is so sweet to see her. She holds it gently and even put her favourite blanket across it to keep it warm. It really is so cute.
The bath time went well and the twins went off to sleep with no major problems. My daughter needed to be resettled but that was it.
The challenges came when I came to put my eldest to sleep. He did not want to go to bed. He screamed and screamed before throwing himself to the floor. I really had to work hard to keep calm. I got him into his room and every stage was a battle. I eventually got him into bed and he was still screaming. I eventually got him to calm down by staying quiet and letting him scream until he noticed that I was not going to do anything until he stopped.
I read to him and that went really well but he would not settle when I was time to leave. He kept saying one more page but by then I’d had enough. It took him ages to settle off and the start of our doing the yoga was interrupted. Thankfully it did not take too long after it had started before he had gone.
I was really happy with how I handled the situation. I managed to stay calm and I did not snap at him at all. It was really hard and I could feel the temptation to give into the temper arising but I forced a serene feeling to go through me, and it worked. I just need to remember this for the next time. It will then become easier the more times that I do it.

The younglings have tested my patience today
And unfortunately I did have a breaking point and my eldest was on the receiving end. I immediately apologised to hi and give him lots of cuddles and kisses until he was all right. I felt really bad but I do not think that it helped that I am not feeling well at the moment.
Thankfully Devil boy has helped out a lot tonight and that really was just what I needed.
My eldest pleasantly surprised me last night. He woke in the night as he has been doing a lot recently. After several times of putting him back to bed I heard him stirring I thought he was going to come th4rough crying. I heard him stop close his door and get back into bed. He then stayed there until gone 6 in the morning. I was really pleased with him.
The twins are being cute at the moment. They both have their own way of saying words. My daughter will say Bob the bubble where as my son will say Bob the bear. Another one is my daughter will point at things and say Ba-bau but my son will say Babyo. It is so cute to see.

I took my eldest to the dentist today
I took my eldest to the dentist today to get his teeth checked. She said that they are all good but that I have to be careful and make sure that I get to his back teeth or they could be in danger of getting decay in them. I was pleased that his teeth were all funky though.
It has been sweet at bedtime, as my eldest has started joining the twins in the bath. They all really enjoy it and apart from the times when he gets a bit enthusiastic and accidentally upsets the twins.
My daughter has not been sleeping too well. She has been waking in the night and getting up earlier. One morning when I had to get up early I brought her through. I was shattered but she made up for it just wanting to kiss me all of the time. It was very sweet. Also as my eldest was there as well he was kissing me strait after my daughter.

Another challenging night
Unfortunately the wind was strong so my eldest was through with us again. Thankfully he was asleep by the time that I got to bed so I was able to read in peace.
Devil boy ordered a present for my eldest. He got him a Millenium Falcon from E-Bay. It is really funky. As it was not too expensive it need some restoration work but we will thankfully be able to get parts for it from the internet and it will make a good play toy for him. He really liked it though, Devil boy was worried that as he likes Harry Potter that he had gone off Star Wars. But this afternoon my eldest asked to watch Star Wars so I just think that he goes through phases of thing that he likes (like we all do)
I had a challenge getting my eldest to settle but he eventually crashed. I am hoping that as the wind has died down he will sleep tonight. My daughter also settled off nicely, which is really good considering she does not have her favourite blanket. It was funny though as my eldest has just noticed that I had taken a blanket off his bed, bless him he did not understand that she needs it for the next few days.
