Sleep


Sleep is something Rob and I didn't get much of last night. I am writing about this incident with the hope that one day I will be able to look back and smile at these kind of memories. The kids had all been asleep for an hour or so and Rob and I were just falling asleep when Wyatt woke up for the first time. He went on to wake up 3 or 4 more times that night. Anna Lea kept waking up crying every hour or so with a runny nose. Layla woke up and came down to our bedroom about 4 am, and Rob took her back upstairs to put her back to bed. Wyatt had woken up again in the meantime. We finally thought we might get a little sleep before Rob had to get up for school, but it was Anna Lea's turn to wake up crying again! Finally I brought her down to try sleeping in our bed, but she threw up on our bed so we had to move to the couch while Rob changed the sheets. She finally fell asleep for an hour or two on the couch and I got a little sleep curled up on our love seat. This is a picture of her the following day. She still wasn't feeling the best, but that didn't stop her from continually pulling out this huge box of Lucky Charms. I would give her some to eat, but she would only pick out the marshmallows and would leave the others for me to clean up.
