So lately the kids have been having sleep issues. Actually it feels like they always do :)
Kailyn has nightmares/night terrors so thats always been exciting.
But Gus has been a chronic get out of bedder when its actually time to just stay in your bed and go to sleep so yo' momma can go to sleep.
We've done the charts with stickers, we've done the oatmeal for breakfast, the special breakfast and now they have all lost their appeal. So I have issued a no electronic for the day if you get out of your bed. Seems to work. For some reason if you tell them they can't have it they really want it even if they weren't planning on using them. So when they earn them they really want to play on them.. a LOT. So it might not be a lasting idea but for sleep right now I'll take it!
Half way mark with Augustus the other night.. he finally gave in and stayed in his bed at 12:30. He woke up about 2 hrs later and started rummaging through the pantry saying he was so hungry. I feed him a snack and made him go back to bed. He woke up for good 2 hours after that....that day was rough.
How I find them in the middle of the night when I'm suddenly kicked or whacked in the face.
Cute.
Would be really cute if this wasn't my bed.
