Last night while we were at church Mom took the girls to see her church’s Christmas show. Apparently the girls fell asleep within minutes for the next hour or two. When they came home, they were ready. to go. Even though their normal bedtime has been 8 lately, I let them stay up and play until 11. 11:15…11:30…11:45. I still hear them playing in their room and go to check on them. They have turned the lamp on and are straight up playing in bed. They get tucked in again…midnight then passes and I give them a speech about it being after twelve. I guess Emma understood how late it was as she fell asleep soon after that. Lexi…got in and out of bed until 12:40 when I finally laid down with her long enough for her to go to sleep with much back rubbing and singing. And guess who was up at 7:30? Oh yes, Lexi was. Emma on the other hand we had to basically drag out of bed.
I would suggest we all take a nap later today but then I’d be in the same cycle as last night. Hopefully we can go to our little function tonight at 7 and then come home and get them down early!
The only good thing about the whole thing last night is I got to watch a rerun of The Hills: Lauren Looks Back which was great. If you ever need caught up on The Hills, need to fill in some blanks or can’t quite get enough, that’s the show to watch.
