Another better day. Mike and I had a little quality time last night. Today has gone well so far. Spencer was actually a pill this morning. It seems the terrible two's have come to stay. Actually I think his lip was hurting, it looks awful and painful. We went to the Y and he cried for about 15 seconds and then played happily. Rachel was good too. When I picked her up though, her clothing was soiled. She had pooped out of her diaper, but forwards. I had to change her in the back of the van and it wasn't cold-cold, but it certainly wasn't warm. She was so tired that she fell asleep in the van, and slept in her carseat for an hour after we got home. She usually wakes up when I turn the car off, it is unprecedented that I was able to get her car seat inside and into her room without waking her. When she did wake, she was only up for a half hour to have a bottle and play a little and then back to sleep. Spencer went to sleep an hour later than usual. I put him down at 11, but he didn't want to sleep yet. So I gave him some Tylenol, which apparently was what he needed because he was much perkier about 15-20 minutes later. Then he went to sleep with no problem. His lip really does look like it probably hurts. No salty snacks today. Oh damn, I gave him gold fish in the car without thinking. Okay, no more salty foods today.

Spencer was saying a lot of words today. His jargoning is sounding more and more like real words literally every day. We see Miss Jen again on Thursday.
