It's 9 O'clock, and Yes, I Know Where My Children Are
They're in bed. Sleeping. Both of them. Ahhh...
It feels like we are finally getting into a routine around here, and both children are now settling into more regular sleeping patterns. In fact, both children were in bed and asleep before 8:15 p.m. tonight. It wasn't all that long ago that Frema and I were debating who'd be taking the first of the nighttime feedings for Nathan. In fact, it wasn't really all that long ago that we were doing the same for Kara either—they're only 13 months apart after all.
As he is still little (only 4 months as of today), we've been putting Nathan to bed when we thought he was tired rather than imposing a set bedtime. He could go down anytime from 8:30 to almost 10 p.m. But recently he's been getting sleepy around the same time one of us is putting Kara to bed, who is in her crib by 8 p.m. With both of them going to sleep so early, it's freeing up more of the evening for the grownups.
If only I could figure out a way to get them to sleep at the same time for naps during the day, too. Then the world would really be my oyster.

There is something so beautiful about little ones sleeping, besides the obvious benefit of the adults, or course. Ahhhh!
Hey! Another Jones Soda label! How did I miss this? I'd do it for you....love it. On my way to vote now!
The babies look very sweet sleeping. I look forward to seeing them in person in the next few weeks.
That sleeping time format has developed to a very good mode. Progress has happen to a great degree. Togetherness is there. Yeah!
