Baby Steps

I haven't exactly followed the schedule from the last post.

Well, I woke up at 6:30, but stayed in bed until almost 7:00. It is now 7:30 and I am just finishing breakfast before waking up Maddox. I actually got ready in peace and quiet. It was amazing! I even added a little curl to my hair this morning and took 25 minutes to get ready slowly instead of rushing through 15 minutes with the boys arguing or our little one hanging on my legs.

I am going up to wake Maddox in a couple minutes. i think I'll wake him at 7:30 instead of 7:00 for now. I think that will be easier for him. I can't tell you how hard it is for me to wake him up. To see that little boy actually sleeping, and then have to wake him up is painful.

Last night he fell asleep at 9:00 and got up at 3:00a.m., but he was easy to console. He woke up saying "I want to eat". because he didn't eat supper and only had a small snack before bed. He settled for some water though.

OK, I am putting off the inevitable (I'm sure I butchered that word). I am heading up to wake him now. I pray this is the start of refreshing sleep around here and the end of tired black bags under my eyes.
