We offered to take Jaxxon and Jameson overnight over the summer. Kelsey and Sean took us up on the offer last weekend while they went on a motorcycle ride in Wisconsin. Esme has been talking about the sleepover for weeks and was so excited when Saturday morning came. She wanted them to sleep in her room, so that's where we set up the pack n' plays.
Esme sang to them before mom and dad were even out the door. Then She checked their breathing with her "stethoscope."
I haven't taken care of a baby for more than a couple hours since Esme was that age and it was wilder with two. I was glad Jimmy was around to help wrangle Parker and Esme.
After out morning walk, we relaxed on the front yard. The boys played nicely for 45 minutes while watching Parker and Esme bop around.
Jaxxon tried to snag up one of Esme's chicken nuggets for lunch!
Afternoon naps were nearly non-existent, so we took another walk around the block.
Dinner time!
Nana stopped by in the evening and gave them sponge baths before bedtime.
Jameson and Jimmy wound down watching the fishes go by.
Esme decided she didn't want to sleep in her room with the boys, so she slept in our bed and I was in hers. The overnight started a little rough, but I ended up getting a nearly 5 hour stretch of sleep in, so I knew I'd at least be functional. This picture was taken at 5:41 am, so that speaks for itself.
Both of them took a little morning nap, which wasn't surprising. We got then to eat before heading to church and they did great in the nursery there too. Kelsey and Sean got back a little after lunch on Sunday and I made it all the way to bedtime without a nap! Not sure how soon we'll do an overnight again, but it was a fun adventure!
