I'm currently working on getting the boys' day more structured. I implemented "solo time" a few months ago, in which Carter is gated in his room for 30 mins around 5pm. He loves it. He didn't at the beginning, but now it's his time to just play alone and have fun.
Now I am starting to work on "sibling time". This is when both brothers will eventually play together, without intervention from Mom. I know it's early, Everett is much too young to play, but I am getting them both used to it, so it's never a question.
Anyway, I try not to ever leave them unsupervised together (yeah, right, like that's possible all the time), but in this case something very important came up and I had to leave. I walk in to Everett's room and every baby toy available was stacked on top of him. It was hilarious. I was just proud that Carter actually left room for Everett to breathe--I was able to snap a picture of it:
It's funny to me that with the 1st kid, I was always worried about "over stimulation".... Everett never had a chance...
