Bedtime

So a few funny/sweet things happened last night during the 2 hr bedtime battle.  (-: 

(1). Last night, both Samantha and the boys were ready to be put down about the same time.  So, I put the boys in the tub and then went to feed Samantha (with the door open so I could still hear them).  When I was about 30 sec away from finishing up with Samantha, I hear this:

Micah: "I all done...Micah go poopy."
Noah: "Uh-oh"

Yeah, so I quickly finished up with Samantha and went running in there.  Disgusting!  I asked: "Did you go poopy?" 

Noah: "Micah go BIG poopy!"
Micah: "Yes, me go poopy."
Me:  "Micah, we only go poopy in the big boy potty or our diapers, ok?"
Micah (with the most sincere little tears in his eyes): "I so sorry Mommy."

So sweet, I melted and was no longer upset...we just made a game of getting all the "brown bugs" out of the tub, cleaned them off with antibacterial wash and had the shower head "rain" on them...it ended up being quite fun.

(2) Micah was screaming, so he lost his binky (the newest rule, which actually seems to be working rather well...I really wanted to get rid of their binkies all together, but I'll keep them for a while if it will help them learn to go to sleep).  He screamed for about 20 min and then got quiet.  Once he had been quiet for 2-3 min, I took his binky back to him, but before I gave it to him, I asked if he was going to be quiet now.  I didn't hear any answer, so I asked again, and again, and again.  Finally, I hear the softest ever little wisper: "yes....."  I think he had be answering me very quietly the whole time....poor guy!  I quickly apologized and told him that I was sorry I kept asking, I just couldn't hear him b/c he was doing such a good job being quiet.

(3) Before starting this story, I have to note that Noah only has one binky, while Micah has two.  We managed to get rid of one of Noah's before we went to Utah.  However, he absolutely loves that one binky.

So, during the above mentioned screaming episode, I hear this:

Noah: "Micah have Noah's binky?"
Micah:  "NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Noah, you have always been so sweet!  Thanks for trying to comfort your brother!
