The twins...

What a day...what a day!



The boys kept me hoppin'! Michael came home this afternoon...just in time to go on a nice walk with us. We had a nice time and the weather was wonderful!



I think Max's bedtime needs some tweaking. He used to sleep so perfectly when he went to bed around 6pm. He'd rarely wake before 7:30 and many times he'd sleep until 8am. Lately we've been letting him stay up later and later because it stays so light for so long in the summer and it seems so odd to have him to go sleep sooner, but this kid needs a lot of rest otherwise he's just a barrel of fun. NOT!

He's been waking earlier and earlier and taking shorter naps as well...so all in all...he's getting less sleep. Not a good combo for Max. So, tonight I decided to put him to bed at 6pm. I left his room by 6:10 and then the protesting began. The little stubborn one cried (not screaming...just protest crying) for about a 1/2 hour and then concked out. He fell asleep just about the same time that I was putting Miles in his crib after his nighttime feeding. Perfect timing...how'd that happen?! Anyway, it must have been a good move to get him to bed earlier because he fell right asleep after he got tired of crying and lately he's been playing in his crib for sometimes over 1 1/2 hours after we put him to bed. I know he's tired. Guess we'll see how tomorrow night plays out...we might go back to a 6/6:15 bedtime for monkey. We'll see how early he wakes tomorrow morning. But, sleep begets sleep...so hopefully it's no earlier than 7am! Now, Miles is another story! :)



Actually, little Miles is a pretty good sleeper. He usually takes a 2 hour nap and then a 2 1/2 - 3 hour nap each day and then he only wakes once at night to nurse. Lately he's been sleeping until after 3:30am (bedtime is between 6:30/7pm) and many times closer to 5am...which has been wonderful!

Speaking of sleep...I'm off to eat a little icecream and then crawling into bed myself! :) Sweet dreams!
