Calm Down!

This morning Bugga woke up crying at 7am. I ignored him for a little while, hoping he would go back to bed. After a few minutes of crying, I heard Buddha yell, "Bugga! CALM DOWN!" He yelled this over and over for a minute or so and pretty soon I didn't hear Bugga anymore. Then Buddha came dancing into the bedroom - his code for "I need to pee" - and I asked him if Bugga was asleep again. He was. I guess Buddha holds more sway with the little guy than I do. I'm glad he's obedient to someone anyway.

What a fantastic little assistant you have in Soren! Where did he get "calm down!"? You or Dan? :)

How funny! You should have Soren tell him what to do more often. Once in the car Halle was fussing and Kev said Halle go to sleep. I was laughing saying that will never work. In a matter of minutes she fell asleep. I guess at that age they really do listen to what you say!

I think it's funny he was told to calm down.
