@KLZ, That’s so true. Learning to decipher that what makes a good thing for someone else, doesn’t always make a good thing for you – that’s a tough lesson for kids (and adults if we’re being honest!).

Hope your week has improved re: sleep. How’s it going?

@Amber, I’m pretty sure that I could set my alarm for 4 and he would still be up before me. It’s crazy! I know they will one day be sleepy teenagers and I’ll have to kick them out of bed, but I can’t see that far ahead right now…

Just kidding.

OK. Really, I have no answers for you. But, I am laughing because I know exactly what you mean. I think I abandoned the whole get up before my kids idea a long time ago. Heck, they’re lucky if I get up within ten minutes of them waking up. Eck. I hate mornings.

@Wonderfriend,
You’re right! Two hours before kids didn’t seem like much. But now, two hours seems like an eternity.

@Amy ~ Eat. Live. Laugh. Shop., So freaky. I do love how intuitive they are and how deep that mother-child connection goes, but it is also bizarre!

@Alexandra, Oh my gosh – I barely remember it, that feeling of waking up on your own.

I’m with you – I kind of feel like crying!

Even once they’re consistently sleeping through the night, you’re still on high alert. For the rest of your life. Well, how’s that for cheery, good news?! Ha.

@The Flying Chalupa, Don’t be too impressed – I fail. A lot. But my intentions are good. And what’s that they say about good intentions? The road to hell and all…

Give it some time, though – you are still in major sleep deprivation recovery. It takes a while to get over that! I don’t think we ever totally recover, but the horror of those early months and years does pass, I promise. Hang in there!

@Sherri @ Old Tweener, The “why” of the toddler is one of life’s greatest mysteries. Tiny, Dr. Evil-esque conspirators is really the only explanation. Ha.

@liz, I completely agree! So sad… no rest for moms. 😉
