Anna and Max Friedman

I believe I lost the first battle over the kitchen table with Anna and Max. They proceeded to get up on the table this morning. It was a fun game with lots of laughing on Anna and Max's end. It went something like this....

• They pull the chair out.
• They climb up and stand on the chair giving me the look that means nothing good is about to happen.
• I say please get down.
• They crawl onto the table.
• I take them down and push the chair in.
• Repeat all steps above.

Maybe I am not smart enough because I really thought that my persistence and patience (I have plenty of both to go around) would be enough. But, I admit I was wrong and this battle is won by them. At any rate, the only thing that I could think of was to put the two chairs they climb on in the family room. We have already moved two of the chairs to the garage but Jon and I do need to sit at meals. So, here is the new (temporary) spot for the chairs. All I did was prevent them from getting up on the table. Didn't stop the climbing. And they even discovered a new fun game of turning the light on and off....

Other than climbing on the table, Anna and Max had a very nice day. We went out to lunch with an old friend and the kids had fun drinking their first drink box. The straw came out a few times but overall they did a great job and it kept them busy throughout lunch. Oh and the biggest news is that they both slept through the night last night!!!!!!!! It has been a while since that has been the case. They each have a lot of teeth coming in right now.
