The End of A Staple

So, we here at BY Universe rely on a few things to get the house of cards through the day (in no particular order):

1. coffee in the AM,
2. daycare
3. naptime
4. Moes
5. Mommy Juice in the PM
6. Daddy Juice in the PM

Well, it seems that we are slowly losing our grasp on naptime.  Back in the glory days, there used to be 2 naptimes...  Ah yes.  I remember those times.  Over time, we have transitioned to the PM naptime only.  Or, as we now know it, Quiet time!


We for the past 2 weeks, the Kizzles have basically not adhered to our plans.  Those evil masterminds have no plotted amongst themselves to not allow the 2-3hour block to occur.  Most recently it has been the Kizzles.  Pizz can go off to her room, read a little, and eventually collapse. 


The Twizzles are a different story.  Those two rugrats (who I am still not sure are completely mine.... Sven you better show up for some daycare!) cannot do it anymore.  I posted a pic, I think last week, of how they trashed their room.  Well, this has not been a sole occurrence.  Every QT attempt is the same.  I am no sure who the accelerant is to the inferno, but wow!  No amount of screaming, pleading, TO, cajoling works.  They are unstoppable.  They cannot be left alone, for fear of destroying something (stay tuned for that post soon).  There is no place to lock them up or get them to stop.


We are screwed!


The video monitor is locked in on their rooms.  We turn on the camera when we hear the evil laughter... you just know something is going on. 


Mostly I thought this was all Mila's doing... She the Brain to Coco's Pinky.... but now I am no so sure.  Ever since Mila has moved to OP1, Coco is a new man!  He is liberated; free of her chains.  He is a total uncontrollable boy now, nonstop running and blabbering.  You can see the wheels turning inside his head when you tell him no.  Oh man!


We are in trouble.


Time to move the Juices to the AM!!!!


(Stay tuned)

Peas in a Pod

This was the scene last night when I went to check on them / tuck them in. 

Quiet time???

Looks more like trash-our-room time!

January Kizzle isms

So one new feature that I have been kicking around, is a post of all the wacky/funny stuff that the Kizzles say.  (Well at least, that I remember to put on my phone)


So each month I will post the ones that I remember.  Here are Decembers:

• Coco: (as I opened his diaper to find a big #2)"oh my goodness"

• KP:(trying to sleep one night) "I want a little window in the wall, so I can talk to you guys at night"

• Coco:(while trying to play Pirates!) "get that booty!"

• Mila:(In the middle of a Coco and Kemper fighting over her) "I'm everybody's Mila!"

• Coco: "I'm not a donkadonk!"  (in response to the Editor and the Queen commenting on his ba-donka-donk)

• Mila (to coco): "you're not a big boy, you have to stay in YP!"

• KP: (as we walk in to Two Guys to have lunch, and in the loudest voice possible).  "look daddy (pointing to a Miller lite logo) they have your drink here!!"

• Q:"Hamilton, do you want to play ball with Kemper?"
• Mila:"Hamilton doesn't have any arms!!!"

I am sure I will have more hilarity in the coming months...

Babyyarnoz New Year's Resolutions

Well, to start, we here at BabyYarnoz are tired... perpetually.  At the end of every day, we are in bed by 9pm.  These 3 are an exhausting business... and somehow this business has not hit the recession.


They keep going and going and going.


Mila is now up in OP1 (which stands for Older Preschool level 1) since she is now potty trained. 
Coco is still in YP (Young Preschool) since he is not. 
KP is in PreK.


We thought Coco would have a hard time being by himself.  We were wrong.  He is now his own man!  The Master of his Own Domain!  He has been liberated from his controlling sister Mila.  One day, the afternoon teacher told me that she didn't know he talked!  That is how much Mila controlled him.  Now we have heard stories of how she told him where to sit for snack and lunch.  Told him when to sleep.  Told him how to put on his coat.  Answered all his questions!


Whew!  No wonder he is a new man!


But now we are trying to potty train the Dude... and it is a lot harder then the girls.


So, going forward, here are our New Year's Resolutions:
1. Coco: potty training.
2. Mila: Gain weight.  Lose sass.  Learn how to be quiet
3. KP: Lose sass.  Learn how to read
4. Editor: Write more blog entries.  Get a 6 pack... (to drink)...Sleep
5. Queen:  (wait she does it all anyway... )... Sleep.


So look for new blog entries, before I pass out each night. 

Happy New Year!
