(Even in My Dreams)
you were Perfect,
Even when I sleep your still worth it.
Love that song by Vanessa Amorosi.
Last night was a milestone. It was the very first, yes that's right the first night I've been able to sleep through without one of the boys waking me for something. It's been almost 8 years since that's happened. With 4 boys one is either having a nightmare, going to the toilet, or just being Parker asking for a cuddle 5 times a night. Don't get me wrong he's fine once we tell him it's still sleep time and he asks for "carry" to which I say no your too big to carry or "hand" and we lead him back to his bed. He jumps straight in and goes back to sleep instantly but I'm then wide AWAKE !!!
To tell you the truth for some reason I feel incredibly tired this afternoon. Maybe it was too much sleep for me. After all 5 or 6 hours sleep has been the norm for so long.
Note : actually I can't even focus on this with Parker trying to squeeze my face together with his baby hands and whispering "IwuvYou"
Time to sign off as he's now insisting on "Wizees Mum" (he likes sitting on my knee while I swing the chair around.)

I love this song too!! Parker is such a little sweetie! You are probably right you know... you've had too much sleep your body isn't used to it YET!!!!
We have the same problem with Riley.
Almost nightly he wakes to go to the potty, but he has to tell me first.
Lately he's been going to the potty and then coming into our room...flinging open the door and scaring us half to death, then wants escorted back to his room.
We finally had to put a stop to it because it was affecting my husband the following day at work. Anyway...long story short we told Riley that he was not allowed to come in our room at night. I know this sounds terrible, but it worked. He is the same child who would be so sleepy and try so hard to keep his eyes open. Once we told him to go Ni Ni (night) he would fall asleep.
Good Luck!
I am so looking forward to a whole night sleep. I think my body wouldn't know what has happened.
Hope your having a good week.
Love all those child restraints!!!!! You get a gold start.

Kristen,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I love making new blog friends. I hope that you will stop by often.
Your boys are darling! Congrats on getting a full night's sleep....but don't take it for granted...it may not last long.
I would like to add you to my blog list if it is o.k. with you.
Have a great day. Grammy Staffy

I envy you for getting one night sleep, however, I'm concerned it's the first in 8 yrs, and here I was complaining about 2yrs of not one nights sleep!
Definitely a milestone. Don't you love the excuses for getting out of bed? Enjoy the sleep while you can.
Oh no Kris,
How do you cope? I'm sure Vik has told you how 'amazing' my 2 sleep, now I've wriiten that one of them will have me up tonight!!
You know i don't really sleep well myself but I still hate being woken or made to get out of bed.
Did you wake up and panic because none of the boys had woken you? You know how you do if your baby sleeps through and you wake with swollen sore boobs and think oh shit somethings happened to the baby they haven't woken me!!!
Love em
I don't know how you do it everyday without a good nights rest. But you are a Mom so it doesn't matter, you just do it. You are amazing and congrats on the full nights rest, may it happen again and again.
Hi Kristen
Here's wishing you plenty more nights where your sleep is not interrupted. You sure do deserve it after nearly 8 long years.
Parker sounds so adorable and affectionate.
Isn't it amazing how once you're awake, even though you are sleep deprived, it is not that easy to fall back asleep. What's with that?!?
Love
Elise

Have a good day.
Oh my ~ how CUUUUTE is that pic!!!!!
You brought a smile to my face with "IwuvYou" ~ how adorable is that??
AND thank you so much for the lovely comments you make on my blog... I've been so slack with blogging lately, but hopefully as I get into a routine, I'll have more time to do what I'm doing now ~ sitting, reading and smiling about gorgeous people I've never met!
