sleep

ok - posting consistently about sleep is really a drag. But it's my current battle, so I will.

Monday night we sat the boys down and talked about how bedtime was going to work. Bath, books, brush teeth, bed. If they are quiet and in bed for 5 minutes, we will lay with them for five minutes each. Then lights out, bedtime. Typical as usual, nothing new, but we had to reiterate it I guess.

So far it's been going ok. Thing Two cries when we leave, but after a minute of heart-wrenching sobs, he's quiet. Maybe he'll grow up complaining that he's always felt abandoned by us, and we'll think back to this moment, but really, I think he'll be ok. Thing One is behaving and staying in bed - even usually asleep before we come back up after five minutes. He also doesn't want to lose computer, Legos, Bionicles, etc. again. God I hate that too.

Ok - enough about sleep. So boring. So whiny (sp?) on my part.
I don't get enough, they don't get enough (in mi opinion), but eventually I'm counting on it all balancing itself out at some point.

Oh - and in case you were wondering, yes still the human pacifier.
Can't help it.
