Are you sleeping?

We've got multiple issues in the this house right now. One is mentioned in the previous post and the other is sleep or lack of sleep I should say.

What happened to my little darlings sleeping until 6:00 or 6:30 a.m.??? That is a thing of the past and a new era has dawned.

Last night, I hear a screaming child at 1:00 a.m. That would be Rocco. I nurse him and get him to go back to sleep. Then at 4:15 a.m. Bryan's alarm goes off and I feel there is something heavy laying across my legs. That would be Rocco. He has somehow scooted/crawled down to the end of the bed and is draped across my legs like a small (well, not so small) dog. Oh yea, that is comfortable for me. Then at 5:00 a.m., I hear the pitter-patter of little feet coming my way. She climbs into bed and snuggles next to me. She burrows her freezing feet into my side and goes back to sleep.

YOU KNOW WHO DOESN'T GO BACK TO SLEEP???? ME THAT'S WHO!!! This has become a regular habit that is starting to wear me down.

I tried to sneak out of bed at 6:00 to take a picture of them and show you how they were positioned. But I tripped on a toy and then I dropped my brand-new camera and woke them both up. Don't they look thrilled to be photographed at 6:00 a.m.???

Here is the other scenario......Rocco will occasionally sleep until about 6:45 a.m. BUT while I am getting dressed and ready for work. Someone (who will remain nameless) sneaks into Rocco's room, climbs into his crib, and wakes him up. Who could that be? Yea, you guessed it!!!

Then they start jumping!!

I am really trying to blame this new pattern on their noses. Both of them are so full of snot right now, they can barely breathe. They are both sneezing and coughing and it is just awful. So I am praying that if I can get them healthy soon, they will start sleeping through the night again.

If not, then I am in a heap of trouble. I will need a bigger bed.
