I'm a tired mommy

One thing I have noticed is that adults are always trying to find ways to get more sleep and kids are trying to find ways to get out of sleep.

My two kids, 4 and 2, try their hardest to stay awake as long as possible.

Campbell goes down pretty easy, if you follow his routine. We read, sing and then sing again and he is ready to sleep.

Leah, is not quite so easy. After her book, or four, she lays in bed and talks and sings for about an hour. Today she didn't want to take a nap and fell asleep with her lip pouted out.

But they need their naps, or it is bad news about 3 p.m.

Me, I fall into bed shortly after putting them down and usually am asleep within seconds.

I wouldn't trade my tired moments for anything though. There are some things worth losing a little sleep over.

I have a 12 and 14 year old and I am just as tired now as I was then. I just do more running around now than I did back then. It was sleepless nights back then now its just run here and run there days! Good Luck with you new family. They are beautiful kids!
