This Week

This week started off a little rough.   Since last Saturday Ben has been waking up once in the middle of the night, but throughout this week his wakeup time has slowly moved from 4 to 5 to 6 or 6:30.  Five a.m. is pretty much the worst possible time he could wake up because it's basically impossible for me to go back to sleep (he will eventually go back to sleep, it's just hard for me).  Even at 3:30 or 4, it's really hard for me to fall back asleep.  The past couple of days he's woken up at 6:15-6:30, which is fine.  I can handle that much better than 4 or 5.  

Add to that, Avery decided to have a party in her room on Monday night.  She turned the light on and was chewing gum and doing a little reading in bed.   The light woke Ben, whose door was open (it can get cold in his room for some reason so we've been opening the door when we go to bed).  Needless to say it was a rough morning complete with tears and meltdown from a very tired 3 year old.


Fortunately we haven't had another night like that.  We were all pretty tired that day.

She's almost too big for this

Speaking of getting too big...those are supposed to be pants.

Hi, little brother!

There's so many more pictures of Ben because he'll sit still.
