Okay, bedtime routine, I'm a bit of a slacker. Life Happens, what can I say. My main rules are that my kids have nothing sugary after five pm and that we start our routine by 8pm. I would love to know why, considering those two factors, my children are still wondering around at 1030pm looking for food and entertainment and more food. Luca is tolerable, because she will lay in bed and sing or talk to herself until she falls asleep. And regardless of her bedtime she is quite pleasant in the morning.
Harper, she's a different story. She's my sleeper. I wake her up everyday for school, she would sleep until 830am, if she could. Well Harps, I have news for you, Mommy is officially tired!
Last night, Harper asked me to read THE SAME BOOK to her MORE than ten times. This book "I'm a Big Sister," is also the book Justin threatened to burn if he had to read. Harper has heard the story so many times that she has gotten to the point where she finishes the sentences of the book and answers the questions. We fell asleep, with book in hand, about 11:00pm, and to say we had a peaceful night, well-would be a flat out lie. As a result of four nights of restless sleep and subsequent back pain and "that look of fatigue," I have placed Harper up for sale to the lowest bidder..............yeah right, like I could stand a night without her. Besides she has the most funny "bead head" I have ever seen.
