Lm

Here is my Lm last night during our nighttime routine. He sleeps in a separate room than his brother. I had set up the nursery hoping they would share, but so far it hasn't worked out. One would cry and wake the other. I hear many twin moms say they had their twins share not only a room, but a crib as well in the beginning. I value their sleep too much to try that, however I did move Lm into the nursery a couple of times, but the results were not fruitful. That is, when I heard laughing during their "nap," I went in and saw them having a stuffed animal fight and flinging things to and fro. So now they're separate.

For Lm's routine, I put him down and he loves it when I throw his blankie over his face. He grabs it and plays Peek a boo with me. Then I go, "Peek a boo, beep beep beep!" and give him eskimo kisses with our noses. Then I give him lots of kisses and tell him I love him and hand him his stuffed Mickey Mouse and turn on his music mobile (he, too, disassembled it months ago). He likes to suck on the corner of his blankie like in the pictures. When I leave he sometimes will start to cry, and I leave it go for a couple of minutes. If it's longer I sometimes bribe him with a graham cracker. I know, I know I shouldn't, but sometimes it's the only way!
