To sleep or not to sleep

That is the question my boys ask themselves every night, and every nap. About two weeks ago we thought we had night weaned, for which we patted ourselves on the back. Then it seemed like nights were getting very difficult again, with multiple wakeups, and difficult calculations of whether the boys needed to be attended to or whether they were only briefly awake and would put themselves back to sleep. All of which resulted in very little sleep for the Parents Lovebo. Inspired by Sarah at a visit this weekend, I decided to resume night nursing if the boys awoke. Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights have gone much better, with one brief wakeup and then otherwise uninterrupted sleep for all. The boys are nursing at 6:45 or 7pm and then waking up at 4 or 5 in the morning, so I figure they're going 9 or 10 hours straight sleeping, so maybe they really are waking up hungry in the early morning hours. So far we're all getting more sleep, so I think that's a sign we're doing something right.

Sunday Theo decided he was not going to have a nap, which turned out to be okay because the Parkes came over for a great afternoon which kept Theo and Beckett entertained until bedtime.
