Our Night

Our Night
January 17

12:00 a.m.  Lucas's first wake up and feeding (he's been waking up two to three times a night lately, I think because he is so big he gets so hungry!)  I tried putting him in his own bed for the first time at night, but he will be returning to our room.  He's up too much still.

1:00 a.m.  Emilyn pees the bed (at least I think this happened last night, it could have been one of the other nights this week, they are starting to blend together since I am up so much.)

3:00 a.m.  Lucas wakes up for another feeding.  Very exhausted but I swear I can hear Lollipop kids singing somewhere in the house.  Unsure if I am losing it, or what is going on, I shake Matt awake and have him investigate.  He finds Matisyn awake, watching Wizard of Oz, and eating Lucky Charms.  She seems surprised that it is a problem that she is awake right now.

4:30 a.m.  Lucas decides it is morning, and wants to play with Mommy.

5:00 a.m.  I hear both girls loudly playing in their room.  Go in to say go to bed or else...they now both think it is surprising that they shouldn't be up playing Lalaloopsies right now.  Bring Lucas into bed with us so I can put his binky in repeatedly while I lay there and pretend to sleep while listening to the girls not listen to me.

6:00 a.m.  The girls stop pretending to listen and just go downstairs for more Wizard of Oz.  Matt gets up.  I feed Lucas and pray I get some sleep before the real morning hits.

7:00 a.m.  No sleep happening, but Lucas adorably talking to me with big slobbery smiles, and Matisyn surprises me with breakfast in bed.  :)  Who needs sleep anyway?!!!

He's starting to roll onto his side.

Matisyn used a cookie cutter to shape my bagel into a heart!

7:30 a.m. Lots of crying fits from Emilyn coupled with hyper running around the room.  Matisyn is surprisingly well behaved. I'm thinking her crash will come later.  Bedtime at 5:00 p.m anyone?  If we can all make it that long.

9:00 a.m.  Matisyn off to school.  It's time for Emilyn to get ready for preschool.  She is lying on the floor, sucking her fingers, and snuggling her blankets.  I guess I know who needs more sleep!
