Send caffeine and a nanny

Is there such a thing a a 21 month sleep regression? If so I'm in it


Sunday night Grayson was up from 2 until 4:30 we finally fell back asleep at 4:45 only for my alarm to go off at 5:30. He got to stay snuggled in bed with daddy while I sucked down caffeine like it was my job, so I could ya know do my job.


Tuesday night even worse he went down at 8:30 and was up at 12:00 until 2:30 when I finally shut the monitor off and fell asleep. I don't know when he fell asleep but I know he woke up at 5:45. I was a zombie all day at work and even had a soda at 2:30 just to keep me awake. That soda was not part of my new eat healthy plan but it helped me avoid falling asleep at my desk.


Tuesday night he slept from 8 until 2:00 was up for 30 and then back down until 6 by far our best night and I woke up feeling like a million dollars with 6 hours of consecutive sleep. 

Now last night back to the no sleeping. Ahhhhh it's killing me. There is nothing worse than hearing your baby crying "mommy up! Moooooooommmmmmyyyyyy uuuuuuuppppp!"
Truly heart breaking. After crying it out for 30 minuets he slept until 6. But chopped up sleep like that does nothing for me. I'm so tired and woke up with a headache.

If I had to guess it's his eye teeth 2 have broken through but other 2 just look plain painful


The eating is touch and go too. He refuses some of the foods he normally eats. It's a success if we can get a fruit and some yogurt in him. One thing I'm thankful for is that he is still drinking his milk so at least there is that. 


We are thick in the 2 year old attitude change. His way is the only way. He was like wrestling a greased pig trying to get his boots in him the other day because he wanted to wear sneakers. However it is -10 here so boots are a must.
 Plus now after being gone from daycare for 2 weeks (that's just how it worked with Christmas and our schedules) he cries at drop off. My kid has not cried at drop off in months. Now he acts like I'm sending him to the torture chamber. Thank goodness Miss. Linda just takes him right from me and reads to him. I'm always told when I pick him up that he is having great days and talking up a storm.


This too shall pass. Right?

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Update...

Things have been…..how do I say this different lately. We have been struggling to find our footing for months now. It feels like the hits just keep on coming. On February 10 th my parents were in a very serious (awful, horrible, scary) car accident. My father suffered a stroke (we found this out later) while driving the car. My mother was the passenger and they hit a telephone pole and then flipped (it’s an estimate because no one saw the accident happen) 6-8 times and landed on the drivers side of the car 100 feet off the road. I was still at work when I got a call from an unknown number and for only reasons that God knows I answered it and it was a young girl who had pulled up on the accident and had gotten my mom out of the car and was there with them while they waited for Mercy Flight for my dad as he was unresponsive. It was gut wrenching and horrible and I felt paralyzed. My mother was taken by ambulance to the same hospital they were Mercy Flighting my father to. We got...
