Happy Noises Are Not Always Good!
Tonight, we put the kids in bed at the usual time and headed back downstairs to start working on our respective projects as usual.
I headed off for much needed Mumsy time which translates roughly into HOT SHOWER!!!
I wondered why I heard soo much noise over the water running and all. It would appear that my tiny trio were having a lovely time bouncing in their beds up there!
There were lots of "Oh No's" and "T.V. T.V. T.V.'s" being screamed gleefully, interspersed with much laughter and giggling all around. I should have known something was up!
About an hour later, and dinner is on the table, I heard my Beautiful Baby Vivienne screaming her "I dropped my blanket" scream, so I sent Bregon innocently upstairs to check it out.
All I heard through the baby monitor was dead silence for a very pregnant pause, followed by an "OH MY GOSH" from my eldest.
I held my breath, waiting to learn the extent of the damage done, knowing that the babies had been up to SOMETHING.
I hadn't heard any breaky noises, and I was certain that none of the thuds were large enough or dense enough to have been anyone falling out of bed, but I wasn't sure what to expect!
One can never guess at my house, and there wasn't anyway to have even begin to come close to the truth of what I was about to see and learn!
After what seemed like forever, Bregon came downstairs, carrying a giggly Baby Vivienne.
All he could say was, "Mum, she's NAKED!" To which Vivie replied in an all too gleeful manner, "OH YEAH!"
She was TOTALLY naked. No footed pajama's, no diaper, NOTHING was on her little body whatsoever, and she was very VERY proud of it.
While Bregon got her diapered and dressed, I fixed a round of milk for the babies and handed Vivie her cup.
Bregon innocently went back upstairs to dole out the remaining milk cups, only to find that Kian was also now as naked as the day he was born, and just as giddy as his sister had been upon discovery.
Kaiden was asleep, and appeared to have actually won whatever game they had been playing as he was the only baby that was still fully clothed.
Apparently, my tiny trio had been playing some sort of strip-something or other game-wise in their beds and two of them had lost!
All I can say to this is, I'm in trouble now! They have mastered the removal of both pajama's, normal clothes and DIAPERS!
I suppose the next step is the dreaded finger painting that all parents try and prevent, but know inevitably that the day is coming!

Too funny! About a week ago, I walked into my boys room to get them up for the morning. There had been sounds of the usual cutting up, and hysteria, but nothing that sounded unusual. I opened the door, and there was Mitch, stark naked, bouncing up and down in his crib, with his brothers cackling hysterically. I'm just glad he didn't have a morning poo to play in when he shed his diaper!
Follow-up to this story: Mitch now gets his diaper duct taped and his jammies put on backwards before bed. I'm bigger. I win. Booyah!
