let's start with today.

This is my 500 post, Yay! Way to go bloggers and stalkers. Just kidding. I am exhausted and frustrated this morning. I was up 3 times with Zachary and then they were both up first thing this morning. I rocked Zachary back to sleep, TWICE and each time I laid him down, he woke back up. I finally gave up and set him down to play.. Then he screamed. I gave Ryan a rock and got him back to sleep and was amazingly able to lay him down and keep him asleep. But it won't last long. He never sleeps more than 30 minutes on his own. I think we have this all wrong anyway. I assume parents (normal parents) just know it is nap time and lay their children down in their cribs. We do not. We rock each baby to sleep for every single nap and every single night. They are not ever required to fall asleep on their own. I foresee this being a problem.

Okay, okay back to today. Enough with the drama. Coffee is hot and black, just the way I love it. Today's agenda hopefully involves finishing the last 147 pages of my book, and shopping for fabric and sewing supplies. I am shooting small videos of the kids and posting them on flickr. They are all short and I will be shooting them frequently, so I hope you don't tire of seeing my kids on video. You can see this one and this one now. Plus I have two more from yesterday that will be up later. And photos to share from yesterday, Ryan's teeth, Ryan and Jason. I have no single shots of Zach from yesterday, but today I will share photos of Zachary.. Even if it involves duct tape.

Oh no - sorry to hear you were up 3x last night..but that's a regular occurance still for me almost every night. Ugh.

And as for putting Ethan down and then he wakes right up...yep, during the day, I'm lucky if he naps in his bed...he sleeps a lot longer in mom's arms....but I can't get anything done. :-)

I can sympathize with you!
