Warm Fuzzies

Ok so we are onto a new approach to getting these kiddos to sleep better. They were going down around 10pm (yup, 10) and getting up at 2ish, then wide awake at 6ish. That was a good night. I read all of these blogs and books now that say that most kids should be in bed between 6-9, sleep for 12 hours-ish, and not wake up most of the time. So of course I bought a book on this whole sleep thing because we are just loosing it. Come to find out, much like dog training, we are to blame for thier bad sleeping habits. Things like not putting them to bed exhausted is important because it is harder for them to go to sleep and stay asleep. Working on naps, and making it more scheduled is important. Not letting them take thier dreamy 530pm nap at all (no naps 3 hours within bedtime) ~ this was happening since their nap schedule was all screwed up and kicked back. So now we are on night two of bed by 7-730. No crying. I also got them so super cute warm fuzzy fleecy pjs. Footed so thier little feets won't get cold. That would wake me up in the middle of the night. Since we live in our big old old old drafty house, warm fuzzies are essential. I am hoping it is the magic trick. I will include some photos asap. They just look so cute in thier new winter pj's.

So this also marks week 2 of daycare, which of course they are LOVING. Today when I got there I waited outside their room for a minute (it has those one way mirrors, so you can see in but they can't see out) and watched them sitting in a circle during story time. It was so cute. Reese was just sitting there glued to Miss Jen (I still don't have thier names down...) sitting next to her two new friends Jared and Chloe. Lily was sitting on Miss Jen's lap listening and laughing. They are little people and not just little babies, which is hard to swallow, but also unbelieveably fun and cute.
