All Things Sleep

*Every time I go into Kate's room there is a new toy in her crib. I didn't put it there, and I'm pretty sure Kate didn't either...just now, it was a block.

*Katelyn's new idea of sleep is the longer it can be avoided the better. Also, it is mom's job to HELP her avoid sleep. This includes things like helping her sit, bouncing and anything else that will keep her awake. If she starts to fall asleep she will scream...at me...as if it's MY fault.

*Kaden's favorite sleep position is his feet against the wall and his head against the rail. In his sleep, in this position, he likes to bang the wall with his foot. A lot. In the middle of the night. Loud enough to wake mom up.

*Kaden has also learned to avoid sleep. Scratch that, he's always avoided sleep. What I mean is that he's learned a new tactic to avoid sleep. This includes running around the island in the kitchen until he's so tired he falls down, then, when daddy tells him to come get his milk, he will walk EVER SO SLOWLY, while lifting his feet almost as high as his head, walking backwards, or other such (comical) weirdnesses. Sometimes it's hard not to laugh.

*Katelyn has decided that 4am is an appropriate time to remind us that she is, indeed, alive. VERY alive. Every night.

*Kaden has decided that he will just kick the wall in his sleep constantly throughout the night to remind that he, also, is alive.

Between those two I may never see a full night of undisturbed sleep again. I've known this a long time, I just keep wondering how many new ways 2 BABIES can come up with to do it.

Also. I have yet to figure out how they sleep through each other.
