or lack of it! We are back to trying to establish a healthy sleep routine as Jeff on the couch and 2 kids in bed with me is becoming draining on all of us, including the kids as Brycen wakes up screaming about 3 times a night.
Needless to say it is a battle. Jeff has been trying the ferber method with him as I truly am too soft hearted to do it. I just cant bare it so daddy has left to play tough guy. It is getting better, Brycen is putting himself to sleep but he still wakes up a bunch of times and always ends up in my bed with Brooklyn and I.
Sometimes I beat myself up as I listen to the advice that what I am doing is no good for any of us. Sometimes I can justify it in my mind that I am doing what works so we get some sleep and other times I look into the future and think of what it will be like when they are 16 and 18 years old. They will be teenagers no longer in my bed and probably barely at home as friends are usually the priority. I stop to think of Jeff and I thinking back to these days thinking Remember when....
In the meantime I guess all we can do is keep trying and remembering that really in a few years this really wont matter anyways!
