Goodbye Sleep


Jack and Sadie started to pull themselves to standing this week. Jack, in particular, is very proud of himself for this accomplishment. On Friday night they realized that they could pull themselves up in their cribs. All of our sleep training apparently flew out the window with this new development. Instead of 10 to 20 minutes to fall asleep, this weekend it's taking Sadie and Jack hours to go down. It's exciting to see them standing, but it's also a whole new world of challenges. Everyday this weekend we removed objects or pieces of furniture from the nursery that had become hazards. Even with these measures there was a lot of falls and crying. Hopefully they will get a little sturdier on their feet and the novelty of standing will wear off soon.

On the bright side, it is pretty damn cute to see them standing and facing each other in their cribs. Before the complete and utter exhaustion sets in, we'll peek into the nursery and see them standing face-to-face in their cribs and giggling.
