It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Coffee... Good

Musical beds last night. I lost.

I often brag about what great sleepers my kids are, and they usually are. Since they were young, once they started sleeping through the night, they've slept through UNLESS they were sick.

Last night was just a weird night.

I didn't even start off in my own bed!

At around 2 am, I heard the pitter-patter of little feet. Then the scrape of the bathroom stool across the floor. I got up to see what was going on. Daughter was getting herself a drink of water. I crawled into bed beside her.

Falling asleep, I heard Son One get up and run to the bathroom. Nose Bleed. He is used to them, so he grabbed some Kleenex and a garbage bin and sat at the end of sister's bed waiting for it to stop.

When it stopped, I noticed that he had blood on his white shirt. Changed him so that I could soak it in cold. Then noticed blood drops all over the bathroom floor. Crime scene? Had to clean that up.

Crawled into bed beside Son One. Sometime, maybe around 5 am?, Daughter joined us.

I can't remember the last night when we had so much activity. Definitely tired looking this morning. And to think that I was just joking with Husband the other day about trying for a fourth. What was I thinking? Sleep... Good. But when you miss it, coffee has to do.
