i'm so happy i could cry...


Ok... so as you all know... we have been sick around here the past week or so... (thanks for the comments of sympathy from my last post)

well this has turned into a blessing in disguise...

kolton our sweet little 8 month old baby refuses to nap... and refuses to go to bed w/out a fight... but since i have been sick... i knew i just couldnt deal with him one night.... so at jaxons bedtime i just laid him in his crib... and walked out of the room. mostly thinking i would just let him scream for an hour so i could have a break..... well half an hour later both boys were ASLEEP! mark and i just looked at eachother in dissbeleif... we haven't had a night like this in 8 months!!! it was 9pm and it was just the 2 of us!!! WOW!

we've tried it now 3 nights in a row... and LAST night kole didn't even CRY! what the?! Why hasn't this worked before?! I have no idea... but i'm seriously so happy i could cry.

Do you remember when we were young and free and we slept when we wanted to, and didn't wake up till we wanted to...Just Saying.

I am so happy for you. A good nights sleep seriously makes all the difference.

Love that pic of the sick quiet zone. Did you take that?

HURRAY!!! Sleep! One of those things I seriously didn't appreciate enough until I became a mom... along with using the restroom by yourself, and having clothes with spit-up on the shoulders and grease stains on the knees... Congrats!

I'm starting to learn that most trials really are blessings in disguise.

Glad you guys have a moments peace! As they say in Shrek 3 "Now, where were we? zzzzzzz"
