Okay, one more Houlenbabies entry for today. BTW, I’m home all day yesterday and today watching the kids while Robyn does her training for her new outside-the-home job, so I’ve had some time to catch up on some stuff I’ve been wanting to get done, but mostly I’ve been playing with the kids and surfing the web.

After we put Chloe and Gabriel down for the night last night (actually, it’s barely night at 7:30pm anymore), the music from their little star projector stopped and it was quiet for a about 15 seconds. Usually during this time, we wait and listen for any rustling noises on the baby monitor that might indicate someone is still awake and is getting ready to let us know that we need to take some action to help one of more kids get to sleep. But last night it was quiet after the music stopped. A few more seconds elapsed and then Gabriel’s little deep voice was heard saying “All done.”

Robyn and I looked at each other and started quietly cracking up. It was quiet for the rest of the evning.
