20:28:27 signingminionmaker Does someone want to trade?  21 month old triplets for something either younger and not mobile or past three?
20:29:01 cabfam Triplets!  Wow, uh... no, that's ok.  More power to you!!
20:29:16 WeeHands 2 years is hard - very independent, can travel fast and not really into following directions when needed! x 3! yikes!
20:29:18 signingminionmaker Actually the sad thing is that they have the power
20:29:46 cabfam Isn't that the truth.
20:29:53 signingminionmaker And they can scream for really long time
20:30:16 WeeHands and just feed of one another!
20:30:35 cabfam Aw man, doesn't sound like too much fun.
20:30:43 signingminionmaker The neighbourhood is going to think that I'm killing her, I've got to go close windows. brb
20:30:44 WeeHands i know that when sabrina was born, joshua was 27 months and getting both down for naps and at bedtime was really hard
20:31:15 cabfam I have yet to experience that.
20:31:30 signingminionmaker Well my husband and I both quit this week.
20:31:40 signingminionmaker But no one is listening

20:31:55 signingminionmaker officially
20:32:03 Vonnie tho mine is not a baby lol
20:32:08 cabfam Am I supposed to be responding to all the statements or only the ones directed towards me?

20:33:50 Vonnie :angel:
20:34:03 WeeHands ha i have no control over my children or anywhere!
20:34:07 cabfam So you quit signing?
20:34:12 signingminionmaker I mean that my husband and I both wanted to quit being parents on a certain day this week.  They have really been a handful
20:34:25 cabfam Ohhh.... gotcha.
20:34:32 Vonnie OH!
20:34:35 Vonnie i was there today
20:34:36 signingminionmaker Oh now they can sign with attitude
20:34:55 Vonnie i was about to blurt out - take him to my parent advocate - but shut up and held myself
20:34:55 cabfam cute!
20:35:28 signingminionmaker still screaming
20:35:28 Vonnie tho i think its easier to trade at times so kids see other adults say the same thing and stuff u know
20:35:53 Vonnie is there a reason why?  i was told that for some kids just leave it be
20:37:33 Vonnie i hope they are ok
20:38:05 signingminionmaker It's just Halla, she hates to sleep.  Thinks she's going to miss somethign
20:39:04 Vonnie k

20:40:10 Vonnie fist - with thumb toward your teeth
20:40:12 WeeHands i own every sleep book in the world b/c of my son but now at almost 5 years - he does go to sleep so nicely after bedtime story!
20:40:13 Vonnie then you flick with it
20:40:24 Vonnie tell me how wee then!
20:40:56 WeeHands A" shape right hand, thumb touching front teeth and you flick your hand outward"
20:41:05 signingminionmaker thanks vonnie and there is no need admiring me
20:41:23 WeeHands i think it was a regular bedtime routine and maturation!
20:41:43 WeeHands my two year old still needs to be snuggling to sleep 80% of the time
20:42:09 Vonnie well - your triplets are your first right?
