Sleep

One would think with all the running around (yes, both of them) these two do, sleep would not be an issue.  I'm finding it rather ironic that in a week of challenging bedtime for Leinna, my photos are mostly of the kids sleeping!  

Thankfully while Leinna was being challenging during bedtime, Lukkas had no trouble at all sleeping.  I just loved how his feet were hanging out of the bed.   

And here - didn't even make it upstairs, he was so tired. I just couldn't get over how huge he looked in Papa's arms. 

As for Leinna - I wish I knew what got into her this week.  My little sleeper just wasn't going to bed.  We followed same routine, no major changes in her day or night - just pure 2 1/2 year old independence/stubbornness I guess.  Just one look at her in this photo, you can see how exhausted she is. 

Finally, today (after an entire week of very dramatic/exhausting bedtime), Leinna calmly asks if she can sleep in the blue chair.  The chair is actually a chair in a half -so she has plenty of room to sleep in it.  After the week of fighting with her at bedtime, I said sure.  The above was during her nap today and sweet little girl couldn't even finish reading her book she was so tired.  As for bedtime tonight- yep, in the blue chair again and she was out within half an hour of going to bed.  Whew... what an improvement from the rest of the week.    Now, it's time for this momma to go and get some much needed sleep too!
