Bottle it up...

And keep this one for the memory books... Al, Hope, and I laid in Al's bed for about a half hour tonight singing songs and talking. He fed her his water cup which she loved and kept looking at him and cooing. At one point he was talking about hair "alberts hair, mommy's hair, Hope's hair" and I said where is hope's hair and he said "right der" and he rubbed her head for almost a whole minute... It was the sweetest thing ever.

Oh Sleepless Nights

Used to be Holy Nights as in holy cow I actually got a full nights rest with two kids under two... But this past week has been a doosey. Though al understands he has to stay in his room when its bed time, he doesn't get that he actually has to go to sleep. He will sit in his rocking chair and read or lay in his bed counting or saying mommy to himself until about 10pm! I fear tired tantrums are on their way.
And now Hope too feels that she should be comforted every two hours through out the entire night. Not sure if she is teething or just discovered that if she cries mommy will come, but something has to change. How is the question.

Big Boy Bed

Al's first night in his bed was very uneventful. I built it up in my head as though it was going to be this great feat to get him to sleep in a big boy bed, but he totally proved me wrong. Thank goodness!
