Locked Up

In their crib is really the only safe place left for the boys to play. Although, there are quite a few mornings that Matt goes in to get the boys out of bed and one is standing on the other. We are often awoke by the crying from one little guy (usually Garhett) because the other is jumping on his back. When Matt or I walk into the room the boy doing the standing is just looking at us like, "what??". Garhett will have his little arm hanging out of the crib like he is trying to reach for help. That is when I begin to think that it might be time for separate beds. They are both very good however at jumping on their mother's back. I thought they had severed something the other day when they got a running start and leaped onto my back. When I thought I was in clear to go ahead and relax for a second, they saw an opportunity to ambush me! It can be like trying to relax with two overly aggressive wild boars! Nobody ever accused our guys of being gentle. It used to be a good thing that our bed is about four feet off the ground because they couldn't get up on it, but now, they use it as a springboard. They can jump higher, and reach more things they shouldn't. When Brenden and Garhett are awake, so is the rest of the house! Today, for example, they caught wind of the fact that their sisters Addy and Lexy were still sleeping. Trust me, they are not the waking crew I want in the morning. The boys went into their room and threw just enough toys and books onto the floor to wake both of their sisters. I could hear Alexys saying, "Oh my God! You boys have destroyed my room!". All the while I was taking advantage of the boys not destroying my room! I did feel bad later and I may even help her clean up her room.
