The Thirty-Fifth Night

One Cool Dude!

Ahhhh... so much easier to type on my computer! :)

So, yesterday I seriously learned a new appreciation and understanding for people with twins or more. My daughter had her tonsils removed on Monday and by last night, I was just exhausted from taking care of her and Collin. (Not to mention Ryan, the dogs, the cats, laundry, etc... etc....) I literally was sound asleep by 8:30pm.

Not that this blog is about my sleeping (haha) but oh my goodness, I could not imagine having multiples. I would absolutely HAVE to hire help! No doubt about it.

So last night, Collin was a cranky wreck by 5ish and to be totally honest, I forget what time I put him down at. I do remember that he went right down to sleep. He cried for less than 5 minutes. (Thank heavens for tiny miracles!) He didn't nap all that well and he was up at 5:30am which I am sure contributed to his 5pm crankiness. He repeated that early wake up time this morning. *sigh*
Thank goodness I went to bed as early as I did!!!

So, I have a new mission!! I would ideally like Collin to go down at  8pm and sleep until 7am. I feel like that is much more manageable than this 6 to 5 that we are currently doing. Now, when you say this to anyone, they will immediately respond with something like 'Just keep him up 5 minutes (10 minutes, 15 minutes, the time changes with the person you are speaking to) later than usual each night until you are at the time you want. Well, that idea is a GREAT idea - in theory. In reality, it's much much harder than it sounds.

BUT I've gotten this far, so i'm going to try.... tonight will be the first night trying this theory and it is already not going all so well......
