My last post I was boasting of the great parenting in being able to put the two kids in the same room to sleep at night. It was a piece of cake. I thought to myself, “I can write a book on parenting, because my kids obey me and are perfect responders to new ideas I have!

That was almost two weeks ago!

I am humbly admitting that Joel and Chalice have been officially separated again! I know… “bad parent…not sticking to my guns…” bring it on, I’m ready to hear it!

Chalice was not getting any sleep, and it looked like a boxing ring. Joel figured out a way to climb into the crib with Chalice and dominate the bed. Chalice would be jumping up and down away from Joel with her little pleading eyes, “Help! Get me out of here…I’m tired! worn out! exhausted! He wins!” So, after much disciplining of Joel, long talks, putting him back into his own, bed. We separated them into two rings to get a break. We are ready to start up again soon, but for the mean time…we are all sleeping well.

On another note…

Today, Joli and I are doing a face lift to our dining room chairs. I am sanding and refinishing the woodwork and cutting the new foam. Joli was in charge of the buying of the foam, picking out the fabric and doing the recovering of the chairs! So, I’m done with the finishing work and taking a little break. I’m tak’n the kids out for a bite to eat while Joli finishes her errands!
