...yeah, ok, that's insanely cute, I get it. However...once they figured out that they could stand up and see each other, that's ALL they wanted to do! At nap time, I finally separated them after 45 minutes of "talking". Also, when Alex stands up, he tends to drop his pacifier out of the crib. After he does this with all 4 of the pacifiers in his crib, he starts to cry. So he ended up in the pack n play in the office for nap times. Then, at bedtime, after 45 minutes of talking, I finally split them up again. Alex fell asleep right away in the office. Max stood there looking at Alex's empty crib and crying. It was the saddest thing. It took him an hour and a half to fall asleep (instead of 20 minutes), but he finally did it.
So this morning, after breakfast, I put the boys in the BCA (baby containment area) to play, while, armed with toolbox, I went to lower the boys' cribs to the lowest setting. My thought was that Max wouldn't be able to see over the changing table if his mattress was lower.
I'm so glad the crescent wrench was invented! Not only did I not have to find the exact size wrench for the bolts on Alex's crib, but it provided the torque I needed to twist those tiny bolts in a confined space. I'd also like to give a little shout-out to my old friend "lefty-loosey, righty-tighty" at this time too.
So, cribs lowered, babies go down for naps. It still took about 40 minutes, and one trip to collect Alex's errant pacifiers, but they finally both fell asleep. I guess that I can put something on top of the changing table if the "talking" continues to be a problem. I don't know what I'm going to do about Alex dropping his pacifiers though.
Oh, and the first set of teeth marks have been spotted on Max's crib rail. I guess I'll have to go buy some rail guards in my spare time!
