sleep drama

We were so excited yesterday because we had all children in bed and ourselves at 8:30! We were hoping to catch up on some Zs. Hahahhahahhahahahhahahaa!!!! Breathe. Breathe. Hahahhahahahahahahahhahaaa!!

I had been bragging about how the twins were finally back to going to sleep without incident. Since the new baby, new nanny, new work schedule for mami, etc. had disrupted life, I thought we had settled into our new normal. Our early resting lasted about 2 minutes. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice to say all three children decided to have a meltdown each one right after the other so that at 9:39, we had a reswaddled, fed, burped and changed twice infant; a toddler who had two trips to the potty and a much longer than it should have been hunt for her lovie and a naked boy who decided to take off his pajamas (a skill which we are most often pleased he can accomplish) and was freaking out because he wanted to put it back on and therefore was still awake crying.

Maybe it was just one night. Is the moon full again?...

Tonight there were tears again (this time not from mami, too), but they didn't last more than 10 minutes. So far. Dare we try again or just stay up for the fun???

Note to self: no more bragging about the children. Ever.
