Sleep...

People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. -Leo J. Burke

There is no snooze button on a cat (or a baby) who wants breakfast. -Author Unknown

Without enough sleep, we all become tall two-year-olds. -JoJo Jensen, Dirt Farmer Wisdom, 2002

Sleep...mmm. Boy, do I miss sleep! Luckily, Erin has been pretty good about sleeping for long stretches in the middle of the night. My mom is also here to help out. She's been willing to watch the kids for a little bit during the day so I can catch a nap if I want to. That's been nice. I haven't really taken her up on it but once. I know that's what she's here for but I feel bad about leaving her to do all of the work. I'm pretty sure she loves it though.

We've had a few visitors this week. Our friends have been nice enough to bring us dinner each evening. That's been refreshing. I don't feel like cooking yet. Ethan has been so good with Erin. I'm so proud of him. He's been such a great helper and so sweet with her. When she cries, he keeps saying "it's ok, baby Erin" and then he pats her head. Awwww!!! :o) We've also doubled (or tripled!) our efforts of potty training this week with him. He's doing so good. I think he's finally ready. He seems so grown up now. He's not my little baby boy anymore. Sad but exciting at the same time. Where does the time go?

Anyway, Erin's hungry again. Gotta go feed.
