I think the boys are running their own sleep deprivation experiment- they've banded together to see just how little sleep their mom and dad can handle before losing it all together and start giving Riley M&M's for breakfast and letting Griffin eat cheeseburgers (he's been eyeing up our dinner like a lion eyes up a gazelle). Both boys go to sleep beautifully, in fact, on a ordinary night Jim and I have both boys tucked snugged in their respective bed & crib by 7:45- the problem is keeping them there! Griffin gets a "hall pass" b/c he's still little, but he's still up every 2 hours (on the dot, people) to eat, which is wearing down his poor mama- I don't know how this feeding frenzy is going to work when I go back to work in September. Riley is currently scared of everything and will bed to come out to sleep on the couch, which is fine because this usually happens in the middle of the night and he passes right back out and Jim comes back to our bed. However, lately Riley wants Jim to sleep out there with him (note: not comfortable for Jim) and he's been getting up earlier and earlier each night- oh and he FREAKS out if we try to get him back into to his bed. Anyway, so the nights have not been long for us and we're tuckered out, so hopefully, the boys will make the switch to a better nighttime routine soon, hopefully within the next 2 weeks since we're going to Manasquan! Woooo, beach, beach, beach!
