Not Our Kids!


You know when you are with friends, or even strangers, and the topic of your kids comes up? More often than not if you have kids under 2 years of age one of the first things you talk about is their sleeping habits. It always turns into a battle to see whose kids sleep better. It usually includes the famous words"NOT OUR KIDS" and follows somebody else's story of sleeping success.
Well, if we were ever in a conversation like that, we would lose. Big time. Granted our 2 perfect angels go to bed inbetween 7 and 8pm (Christian sometimes later, like 9 or 10), they seem to have no desire to sleep past a certain point (even if they get up multiple times a night). That point of no return (to dream land) is typically around 6:30am. This morning it was just after 6am. I know because my alarm had already woken me up so I heard our boys chatting away at that ungodly hour.
If there is anybody out there that could offer some suggestions, I think we would be open to them. They were in their own rooms 2 months ago, but we have since put them together. We have thought of separating them again, but are hesitant in taking away their opportunity to learn and live with each other. Anyway, we will see what unfolds as time passes. If they are getting up that early when it's still dark, I can't imagine what it will be like in July when the sun is actually shining.
