Attn insomniacs: before you take your kid to the the doctor for his or her own sleep problems, be aware that your doc might be curious to find out what's up with your sleep patterns instead.

Sleep Deprived
This is what our bed looks like most mornings. The Hubs and I hanging on for dear life to our respective sides and L'il E and LJ sprawled out in the middle. We have always been in the "kids sleep in their own beds" camp - L'il E was in his own crib and bedroom as soon as we got home from the … [Read more...]
The Toothfairy did what!?
One would think that once my house is finally quiet and all my kiddies are sleeping like the little brats angels that they are, I would run upstairs and hop under the covers in my warm snuggly bed.Not a chance!

Eight children sleep where????
Recently someone asked me where my children sleep, and being the smart ass that I am my reply was "In their bed." The dirty look I got led me to assume that my comment wasn't really the answer they were looking for.Personally I thought it was sort of a rude question but since they asked and I've now … [Read more...]
Big Comfy Bed
A few months ago, I announced (bravely, some might say) that my wife and I are co-sleepers. Pea has never been a good sleeper and since Day 1 preferred the comfort of her parents over the loneliness of her crib. We have always been receptive to this arrangement. We work long … [Read more...]
first day of school
Today is the first day of school for the girls including Bunny. Bunny and the girls didn't sleep well last night because "Bunny" was quite scared about Kindergarten. "Bunny" thought she was stricken with the shy bug hence rendering her speechless and sleepless. "Bunny" cried last night before … [Read more...]
