5:55 am-What is that noise?... “Mommmmyyyy”
Which one is that? Seriously?! Ok, so I manage to get DH (Dear Husband) to go to our son’s room (for some reason, he can usually get The Baby Boy back to sleep easier than I can when it is waaayy to early to get up). But 5:55 am…that’s right on the edge of the point of no return…no return to sleepyland that is.
5:56 am-“Mooooooommmm!” Oh my gosh, it’s Big Sister, no way. The Baby Girl is definitely up now too. Yep! So I go into the girl’s room, and somehow, by the grace of God, I manage to calmly get them to go back to sleep. As I exit the girl’s room, DH is exiting the boy’s room. We say nothing and climb back into bed, praying for another 30 minutes of peace and quiet..
Today, our prayers were answered…we heard nothing again until 6:35, when my husbands alarm went off for work. Yeah!!
Why are our children’s sleep patterns such a huge issue? Before becoming a mother, I had no idea how much time and energy I would put into how much each of my kids would sleep (or not sleep as is sometimes the case).
Am I alone with these sleep issues? Is the answer really just about being cool, calm and collected when it is WAY to early to get up? Or do I just have naturally early risers? I will keep testing it out and see…
