Bionic Babies

These babies DO NOT nap. They were just fine with a single 25 minute nap yesterday. A took one nap in the am at BT today and then fell asleep on the way home. V looked equally EXHAUSTED at the dinner chair. L bathed them as usual and stayed until they were asleep. I do not know how to nicely say that I think it best for them to go to sleep on their own (like on the weekends). Needless to say, she likes to stay until they are "asleep." The best part is that they are tricksters. They pretend to go to sleep or take power naps or something. She left at 7:20pm and told me that A had just fallen asleep and that V had done so 10 minutes before that. It is 7:50pm and the babies are laughing and jumping in their crib, I actually think that they are bothering J. A was slapping her hand against the wall and laughing hysterically to the thumping sound. I am not going to fight them as I am outnumbered but what the duck? When do these babies sleep?
PS In the am (sometimes at 4am!!) when I take a bottle to V he slides it across the crib slats a la prison protest and screams in glee when he is done drinking. Since my goal with the crack ass early bottle is for the milk to have a soporific effect I guess I can stop getting up early since it has the  Red Bull effect on him.
