Sleepy Alex

Well, last night, Alex went 10 hours between feedings. I was so excited this morning I had to tell you all. That is the first night of uninterupted sleep that I have had in close to a year. I feel like I could rule the world today! It is amazing what a good sleep will do for you.

Crazy and Fearless

When you saw this title you mayhave thought that this would have to do with the terrorist acts in the US, but no, I have a little terror of my own proweling around the house at all hours of the night. Dispite threats, punishment, removal of privlages, this is how my night went. 9:30, Liza put to bed. Up 3 or 4 times playing the potty card until I finally got really mad, had a big talk about lieing, many tears and she finally slept at about 11:00pm! I had all my scrapbook stuff out so I stayed up until 12:30 am scrapping, then at 1:15 Alex was up to eat. Liza also woke at this time, which I thought I was fortunate that they were both up at the same time. Insted of 2 hours off eachother. She came into my room asking for a hug, then she went to the bathroom all by herself, and I sent her off to bed. Alex finished eating and went to sleep and I went to tuck in Liza. She was still awake but resting. Approx 2:00 she came out of her room claiming the need to go potty. I simply told her that she didn't need to go and to get back in her bed. To which she cried and climbed into bed Aprox 2:30 am I am awoken by strange sounds. I go to investigate and find Liza behind Zuzu's cage in the bathroom??? Why, I still don't know. I sent her back to bed again, getting more and more angry with every try. About 3:25 She played the potty card again. Then at about 4:15 She Casually walked into our room as though it were 4 in the afternoon, and asked me if I would please fix her stroller, which she was pushing. AT this time she had privlages taken away and more threats. At 5:30 she was wandering around in my room and then through the house. I could hear her little pitter patters. Then I finnnaly got up when she was going to the bathroom yet again. She peed more in the night last night then she did all day yesterday. We even took away drinks after supper because of this happening. Finally at 5:45am I made her go to bed and sat at the kitchen table where she could see me watching her and made her lay still for 15 mins, she was finnally asleep after her 4 hour party!! Alex was up at 6:05 to eat, brents allarms at aournd 6:45 and then i slept. CRAZY!!! It is now 9:45 and She is still asleep, but not for long, she has got a friend comming over at 10:00 stinker, I had half a mind to make her get up at 7:30 like normal! Cry me a river eh? She is nuts!
