Caught on tape (best video EVER!)

I'm not going to lie. I'm a bit of a schedule nazi. That was one of the things that was drilled into me when I was pregnant, and I really took that advice to heart. Routine is king around these parts, and naptime is a lovely piece of wonderfulness in the middle of my day. Let me tell you, nothing will ruin my mood faster than a naptime gone wrong. Now, ever since we did our sleep training at 10.5 months, we've had a great naptime track record, usually 10 minutes and out. Lately, however, it sounds like a comedy show is going on upstairs. I hear wild giggling and shrieking for at least the first 10 minutes of every nap. Some days, I get two or three rounds of the circus sounds before I finally hear that golden silence I soooo look forward to. Yes, I am happy that they have fun together...but really, go to sleep already!! Yesterday was one of those days. So, on my first "it's naptime lay down and go to sleep" warning of the afternoon, I stuck the camera in there. Enjoy.


I think my favorite part is the full on pillow fight.
Or wait, no, it's when Lauren looks over her shoulder to see if I'm coming after she throws shit in Avery's bed.
Or... maybe it's Avery climbing on the pile of animals and pillows, getting dangerously close to figuring out that that's her ticket to getting into Lauren's bed.

This video was 13 minutes long originally. I ended up intervening again when they started round two of the pillow fight. I took all but one pillow and one stuffed animal out of their cribs on that visit. In all, it took an hour...yes, an HOUR, for them to finally knock out. As much as I'd really hate to do it, rearranging their room might be in the veeeeerrrrry near future!
