I love you kiddos, but last night?
What happened to you??
Sweet Addie, where has our champion sleeper gone?
We would love her back if you can find her please!
Pretty please??
I promise, a shout out for “Mama” at 1:15AM, totally NOT NEEDED.
I will love you, possibly more than I already do, if THAT doesn’t happen again.
And I will give you an even bigger hug in the morning.
And really, really? Are you sure you were “cold” at 5:15AM??
I’m pretty sure you had no less than 8 blankets and a comforter tucking you in all cozy….
And Piper, you’re a doll! Perfect in so many ways….but 2:45AM??
Fussy ’til 4:45AM…REALLY?!?
Was that truly necessary??
That is SOOOOO not your style.
If you could just go back to the 5:00AM wake-up, then we’re cool!
Does that work??
Hayden, YOU, are the new champion!
Thank you for going to bed so easily.
Thank you for sleeping so well.
And thank you for always waking up at 7:00AM or later!!
But this morning’s 6:00AM??? Not so much.
Not sure where that one came from….
So maybe, just maybe, you 3 could talk amongst yourselves…
look over these photos for a hint….
and figure out how to get a little more shut eye tonight??
Mama promises a REALLY fun day if you do.
Mostly because I’ll be awake….
Thanks a bunch!!

So cute! What about a footed sleep sack for Addie? (cold)? They zip up in the back so even my Houdini hasn’t figured out how to get if off and it solved the problem for us of the colds at 4 AM (she’s about the same age as Addie)

Hahaha. Good luck Shanna. Don’t worry, they’ll sleep soon and then they won’t and then they will and then they’ll be teenagers and you still won’t be able to sleep!

Okay… here is my comment I published on the wrong page… ooppss
I SO remember those days.
“It’s 3:00pm, count down till bedtime begins, t-minus 4 hours. I can do this…”
When I was ready to jump off the 3 hour max window of sleep cliff, my girlfriends gave me this book after listening to me cry. (Hormones+lack of sleep = Mommy in despair)
I’m pretty sure you already have this book, but in case you don’t, here it is: Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth

I second Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child! Fantastic book that has literally been on my nightstand for years because I constantly need to reference it. My preschooler is going through a rough sleep patch right now. Don’t you love when someone wakes up minutes after you have just fallen asleep? Ugh, that’s the worse! Wishing you happy sleeps tonight!

Lack of sleep is the WORST! I feel your pain to some degree. Will sleeps in a sleep sack and a comforter in his crib, which has helped battle the cold issue. Other than that, I have no idea. I was up with Will once an hour after I fell asleep and Hubby was up with him twice and then I got up with him at 7am. The 90 Minute Baby Sleep Program by Polly Moore was a great help for me, as was the Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems by Dr. Ferber. To some degree though, I think it’s just a crap shoot and you gotta squeeze in your own sleep when you can.

Mine doesn’t sleep at all. He’s been going to bed at like 11pm to midnight every night since he was about 15 months old….
