Sleeping Beauties


I love bedtime! This is my chance to get in some much needed mommy/baby snuggle time while the boys play their video games. We have such a routine at this house. After dinner, Lola usually wants a bottle so her and I retreat to the bedroom, where I get caught up on all of my shows (tv is good right now - too many things to watch!) while the boys bond in the living room. She enjoys her bottle and usually falls asleep right around 7 and sleeps from about 7pm to about 5:30/6am! For not being a schedule crazy mom - my kids sure are on a pretty good schedule - not on purpose, just sort of worked in my favor! I couldn't ask for better little munchkins!!!

Kyan on the other hand is on daddy's watch and heads to bed at about 9pm after all his game playing and movie watching! (I can't wait for it to start cooling down here at night so we can head to the park and be outside more). He has to have a little something to drink right before he falls asleep and reminds you every night that he wants the hall light on and the door open! He is a great sleeper as well and it is like pulling teeth in the morning to get him up and out of bed. I usually have to bribe him to get up with a cup of "hot" chocolate - not just a glass of chocolate milk, oh no...it has to be hot! If he could sleep in until 9 in the morning, I think he would. I already think to when he is a teenager and sleeps past noon - oh boy - trouble!

I love sleepy time... and the feeling you get as a mommy watching your munchins sleep is indescribable!! They both look so peaceful! I love that you still wrap up Lola in a blanket!! She looks like "snug as a bug n a rug"

She is SO in love with that little Piggy blanket! (It kills me every time.) Let's hope Camden takes to the lamb- it will be cute. : )
