Bedtime




Colt loves to watch the "Three Little Pigs" before bed now. We had been reading him the book for the longest time and he just loved it so Memah got him the dvd and now he is obsessed with it. There are like 7 short movies in the dvd (3 little pigs, Lambert the sheepish lion, 3 blind mice, etc....) and each time one movie ends he looks at me and says "just one more mommy." We usually let him watch 2 movies and then he has to go to bed. Most of the time bedtime happens with no arguments....most of the time! The tough thing right now is that neither Jax or Colt are on a good sleeping schedule. Some nights Colt will go all night without waking up but most nights he is up once or twice in the middle of the night wanting something and then no matter what time he goes to bed he is up at 6:00 coming into our room and asking for his milk and banana. Jax's schedule is very unreliable as well, some nights he only wakes up once other nights (like last night) he is up 4-5 times. Will I ever sleep again??

I fear I will not be getting any sleep soon either. Taylor almost always wakes up at least once a night requesting milk, but sometimes wakes up twice. And then with the new baby, who knows how much he will wake up. But I fear Taylor will wake up more once we have him home, because she is the LIGHTEST sleeper ever. Every little noise wakes her it seems. Hang in there though, I'm sure you'll get both your boys on a good schedule soon! Just keep trying to nap during the day while they nap if you can!

Carolyn,

You have to give me the title of the movie...I love Lambert the Sheepish Lion. We watched it when we were little but I have never been able to find it in the stores. I promise to update my blog this weekend!!
