Most of the time the boys sleep really well - 7-8 hours at night, plus 2 good naps (2-3 hours at a time) during the day. Every once in a while, we have a rough night, where there isn't much sleeping going on. This week, we've had 2 so far. Monday night, Jacob wakes up a 3:20 a.m. to eat. Then, Elias woke up at 4 a.m., so Zach brings him to bed with us. Then Jacob wakes back up at 4:45 a.m., ready to play, so we all go upstairs to start the day. We had 2 really good naps that day, so I didn't really mind too much.
Yesterday they slept through the night, but neither one really wanted to take naps. I finally got them to sleep by 8:30 a.m., and they slept for a while. Yesterday afternoon was not as blessed. The weather radio kept going off just as Elias fell asleep. Then when the weather finally passed & I thought he'd be going to sleep, the UPS guy rang the doorbell. Ugg! Elias finally laid down around 3:30 p.m.
Last night, however, Elias was up around 2 a.m. Zach got up and changed him, but he wouldn't go back to sleep, so they went upstairs to play. Elias must have fallen asleep, because Zach put him back to bed around 3 a.m. Just in time for Jacob to wake up at 3:40 a.m. to eat. He cooed for a while, then finally went back to sleep until about 5 a.m. So Jacob & I went upstairs to play & he's just now fallen asleep at 7 a.m. And now, Elias is talking in his crib, meaning he's ready to get up...maybe we'll get a good nap this morning? I can only hope!
