Sleep

Funny how your perspective on how a day is going to go can change in an moment. At least mine did this morning.

First Micah slept through the night!!!!! He slept from around 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m! I felt great when I woke up and as I nursed him back to sleep. I was excited about getting a few quiet moments after he went back to bed and before the other boys woke up.

(I should mention now, that all three 'big' boys are in one room. I'll post pictures at some point and explain why. For now, just know that this is their third night together.)

Just as I was about to get up to put Micah in his bed I heard a door open and saw Tate appear. At 6:15 a.m. He shut the door, then opened it back up and reappeared with Grayson. I motioned them into my room, thinking they could watch some TV and I could still have some quiet. The next thing I know, Reed is calling for me.

I went from very optimistic about the day and feeling pretty energetic to dreading today and feeling tired. Not a great way to start the day. Yesterday they were all up at 6:30 and I had to work really hard to deal with them being cranky without being cranky myself. I don't want another day like that.

It turns out, Grayson is waking up first, and waking everyone up. Kinda on purpose. I wish I knew why he is waking up. We have had a couple late nights, and he doesn't nap.

Here goes another day with a tired 2 (nearly 3!) year old...
