we've been dealing with some sleep issues this week. rex has been waking up around 4:30 or 5am! he was also waking malloy up. we tried a few things to "reset" them. later nap and later bedtime worked last night - they "slept-in" until  6:30! woohoo! we did the same things today, hoping for the same results.
on a different topic, the squinkie love has not faded! rex asks to play with squinkies at least 2 times a day. they were playing with them tonight while i made dinner. malloy yells to me "mom, we're throwing all the squinkies under the couch!" i then told them that they had to pick them all up. rex figured out that he could fit under the couch and malloy followed suit. she was so proud that she could get under the couch and they had so much fun retrieving all the squinkies!
later, when she was playing hide and seek with neal, she tried out her new hiding spot under the couch. neal came out to look for her and her little feet were sticking out from under the couch. it was so cute!
