I had a crazy night. First, Ayden came to our room crying, so I had to bring him back to bed and comfort him. He said his legs hurt, so I gave him Ibuprofen to help him sleep. I stayed with him until he calmed down and fell asleep, then I heard Ian starting. He's been having a rough week. I spend all day wondering what the problem is-hunger, diaper rash discomfort, gas, teething, etc... I held him for a while until he calmed down, then Ayden started again. I didn't want him to wake up Ian or Josh, so I went to his bed again. This time I think he had a bad dream. He wasn't fully awake and kept mumbling jibberish, so I waited to make sure he was okay, then went back to bed. Ian waited about a half hour and decided it was his turn again. Then an hour later- again. It all started somewhere around 3am and ended around 6am, then Ian was up for the day at 7-ish, but I let him babble to himself until he got angry, tossed him to Josh and I took a quick shower before Josh had to leave for work. Surprisingly I'm okay this morning. I was afraid that I would be cranky and have a short temper, but so far-so good. Sometimes motherhood can be draining. That's why I love my D.P. (Dr. Pepper). Good thing it didn't exist when the Word of Wisdom was established. I would just have to break that rule. HE-HE.

Wow - I know I would be cranky if I had a night like that! Hopefully they'll nap good today and you can put your feet up and relax a bit.
i love the good doctor, too, but i do not keep it on hand...that way if i need a dose of the pop, i have to go out...and a road trip seems to lift the spirits, even if it is to the sonic down the street.
anyways, i hope you were able to have a great day.
Man I'm tired just reading that.
That sounds very similar to my night! What is it w/ kids when they wake up at night it never seems to be just one of them. You did much better than me b/c I think I was pretty cranky even with my DP. :)
Luckily, that was a rare night. I just needed to vent a little. Last night both boys slept soundly, and I was able to sleep a straight 8 hours.
Sonic has the best vanilla Dr. Pepper in the world!
