Big Boys

I put both boys to bed the other night in new beds and rooms. Isaac moved into his new toddler bed in his new room and Zachary moved from a travel crib in our room into Isaac's old room and crib.

Both boys were asleep by 10pm and into their rooms/beds about 10:30... Zachary woke around 1:30am to nurse, as is his regular habit... but instead of just bringing him into our bed, I kept him in his new room and rocked him in the rocking chair... it was about 2:30am before I was able to get him back to sleep and back into his crib...

Isaac woke up about 3am, which isn't unusual but also not a regular thing... normally he would eat from the snack cup we leave in his bed and take a drink of water which is also left in his bed and lay back down and go back to sleep... but with the new found freedom of the toddler bed, he decided to come running into our room yelling about playing in his new big boy room and tried turning on a couple lights... we corralled him into our bed where he tossed and turned and chit chatted until a little after 4am... he finally dozed off about 4:15...

Mike had to be at work by 5:30 that morning... so the alarm went off at 4:20... waking up Isaac... so as Mike was getting ready for work, I decided to try letting Isaac watch an episode of Daniel Tiger in the hopes that it would help him doze back off... Mike left about 5am and Isaac started to doze off again about 5:15...

Zachary woke up at 5:30am which is again, normal for him... I brought him into the bed hoping he would nurse and fall back asleep like he usually does... Isaac, however decided it was time to play...

My alarm went off at 6:15... And I actually got up and went to work and functioned.... barely...
