Zoë won’t sleep. She fights it and I am running on fumes and those fumes are quickly evaporating. I am lucky on a typical day if she naps for 90 minutes–all day. She is going to be one in a few days and I know she needs more sleep. I know I do. She has [...]
That is the kids are pushing limits. Noah has begun to push the limits and test my resolve at thing like nap and bedtime. He is also flexing his own independence. Hence, I have been relegated to the floor during our bedtime book reading, while Noah “reads” the book. When I try and interject anything, “No Mom, Noah [...]
We are starting to get some sleep. I love sleep. Who knew how good it could make you feel. Drumroll please……………………………
Zoë slept through the night last night. I know. I can hardly believe it. I woke up about 4 am and freaked out wondering if she had woke and I didn’t hear her–highly unlikely as [...]

approximately 936 until Peepers joins Minnow away at college. Okay. I’m not really counting down as that would be depressing.
