Maybe They Need More Sleep

When Lydia is tired and just wants to rest a minute, she goes to the bottom step and makes herself comfortable. She does this on a daily basis especially if she has her blanket downstairs.

The Friday we left for our camping trip, I kept the kids up instead of putting them down for their naps because I wanted them to nap on the way to Cunningham Falls State Park. We were planning to leave at 2:00 so I thought Wesley would easily stay awake until then. While I was getting my clothes together (which was the last stuff to be packed), Wesley started saying that he was tired and that he wanted to "leap". I turned around and saw him curled up in the laundry basket with his bear.

Speaking of sleeping, here is a cute one of Lydia from our trip to the zoo on Saturday. I was actually surprised that she stayed awake until 4:00. She didn't even wake up when Chris put her in the car.

Here is an update on the black-out shades. They are working great. Even if Wesley wakes up at 5:30 (like this morning because he wanted his blanket adjusted), he now goes back to sleep. The kids now usually sleep until 7:00 which gives me some quiet time in the morning.
