The fighter

Last night Kacy was up in her bed reading to her baby, and at the other end of her bed was her pile of babies and stuffed animals. It is 10:31 and my daughter is still awake and fighting sleep. I put her to bed hours ago. My other kiddos have already past out and Cameron's bedtime is later than Kacy's. I usually try to put the girls down around 7:30 or eight and Cameron is 9:00. If you think Kacy will just sleep in, Kirsten will fix that for me. Kirsten is famous for coming in at the crack of dawn and saying "mommy it is light outside....time to get up out of bed.....it's morning....MOM WAKE UP!!OPEN YOUR EYES." Kirsten gets louder as she goes on and I lay in the bed praying my daughter will go back to sleep, which she doesn't. She usually jumps on my bed and sing it's morning, it's morning. If you think this tragedy ends with me, it doesn't it outreaches to Kacy. I hope everyone has a great Friday and a great weekend.

7:30? Wow, my kids would wonder why they were being punished. Just wait until they become more active, you'll hardly even be home at 7:30 on any given night!
But I'm sure it's nice to have a few hours to yourself. I would love that.
Well, at least she stayed in bed & read to her babies.

How cute that she reads to her babies!! You have a night owl and an early bird, I guess that equals no sleep for a mom! :)
