Sleeping Beauty

So most of you know that my kids are on a nap schedule. Our outings and so forth are based around the nap schedule, so that the kids go down at a certain time (or close to) of the day. This is a blessing and a curse because we're tied to the kids needing a certain atmosphere for their naps...like a completely dark room, sound machines, their loveys and jammies. They don't fall asleep in any mobile things. They wait...wait until the dark room, sound machines, etc. This sometimes causes them not to get to sleep until wee hours of night.

On the flip side, we know when we (parents) will have time to do something...run out, take a nap, relax (or as Logan says...falax). We have our time at bedtime too. We watch tv, go to the gym, think, etc. It's nice to know it's there or coming up. It can push you through the witching hour...which around here are hours 7am-7pm...HA! Anyway, after all this...we have no pictures in any baby books of our kids sleeping. It's impossible to get a picture because of the whole pitch black room thing. However...Marley was sick...and sleeping...and I was sneaky...

She's our only thumb sucker. Kaelyn, Rory, and Logan had/have soothers. Kaelyn gave hers up at 5, Rory at 4, and Logan's giving his to the soother fairy this December 31st...which might have to be postponed for the night since we might be staying at Grandma and Gekkos. I guess we'll see. Good night and sweet dreams!
