once he settled down, rex slept very well in his bed! he woke up once at around 5:15am just calling out "mama". i went in and put his blanket on him and he went back to sleep until 8am!! he never sleeps this late!!! potty training is tiring! speaking of which, he did AMAZING today! the only accident he had was when he pooped in his underwear - i was cleaning the house and when i walked in their bedroom, he was crouched on the toy box with a lump in his underwear! woops! BUT, he didn't pee in his underwear at all and is starting to tell me when he had to pee! it's really happening!! even when he was in his room for 2 hours  for nap (which he didn't take) his pull-up was dry!

today, we had our friends over to play since we were staying close to the potty! safina and emery, gianna and kenadee, and brooke and ben all came over to play! the kids had a great time destroying the place :) at once point, brooke told malloy that she didn't want to play with her at the moment and it made malloy very sad! she was actually crying because her feeling were hurt!! for some reason, brooke effects malloy emotionally unlike any of her other friends. when they're playing nice, they actually do play really nice! while malloy was sad, gianna was being such a good friend and saying "do you want to play with me malloy? i'll play with you." she was so sweet!

after our friends left, it was naptime! yesterday, the kids pulled the blackout shade down, so i left it down. i figured they would be fine and fall asleep. NOPE! they had the curtains open and were running around, reading books, playing game. they stayed in their room for 2 hours, so i still got some quiet time, but never slept! when they came out, they watched a little bit of lorax (their favorite and mine at the moment!) and then went out to wegmans for a few things. malloy was thrilled to go to wkids for a few minutes and rex hugged his stuffed lorax while sitting in the cart very nicely. when we got in the van, both kids went pee in the travel potty (rex was dry!)

before bedtime, i tacked the blackout shade to the window with thumbtacks. bedtime was a bit of a struggle because the kids were not happy that they couldn't open the curtain and see. i heard malloy yell - "yeah! you did it rex!" i went in and he was kneeling on the toy box, under the curtains and blinds and had popped a thumbtack out! i yelled at him and he cried. a lot. i had told them both not to touch the curtain before i said goodnight! i know they're still little and these things are going to happen, but their determination still surprises me!!
