Thanks guys!! Today is going SO much better! When they all came in this morning I had a very serious talk with them and reminded them of what I expected from them. The 4 yr old is still acting up a bit but not as much and I have changed the way that I talk to him. For example: He threw I toy and I put him in timeout and afterwards I told him that this is my house, my rules and if he can't follow them then he will lose his privileges with the toys that he can't respect. His whole demeanor was different this time.

I told both the 4 and 5 yr old that they need to lay on the couches and not move (and if the 5 yr old wasn't tired after the 4 yr old fell asleep then she could play quietly in the kitchen - they both passed out in 10 minutes ).

The 2 yr old kept getting up but I just sat with him for a few minutes to get him to stop wiggling and he fell asleep. I too have the heebie jeebies about having dck's in our bed too because if they make a mess then it's our bed that they are messing in. I just had no where to put him so he couldn't be distracted by the older ones (and I didn't want him in my sons room because that is his space that he doesn't have to share). Unfortunately, I have to stick it out until school starts and then I can move him into the living room. The lady who does the home visits that I'm licensed through said that she will bring me a playpen and a sleep mat this week so we can try both and see what works best for him. Our bedroom is quite small so I'm hoping the playpen she brings will fit until school starts (we don't even have our bed on a frame because our 'master bedroom' is that small - winter project will hopefully put our bedroom in the basement and free up a room on the main floor).

YAY for progress!! And for you ladies!!
