My kids are in
the next room putting themselves to sleep.
And when I say that, I mean they are giggling hysterically at each
other. One will make a funny noise, and then the other will make a silly pronouncement of another kind. Both giggle.
And repeat. I'm sitting here,
wondering what the little wooden thumps I keep hearing are, but I assume there
are no heads hitting their cribs--or else there would be crying, right? I just peeked, and little legs seem to be
making the thumping sounds so far. :)
These kids are adorable. Well, mostly. Not quite so adorable when Colby is crying (again) at 2 am and wakes up his sister for no apparent reason. Which leads me to question aloud the actual effectiveness of "sleep training." I don't mean to offend anyone, but I have a case study going on in my own home. One child sleeps and one child doesn't. We do the EXACT same thing with both children at the EXACT same time ALL DAY LONG. I think people just get lucky when their kids sleep through the night, but that's just my humble opinion.
This is
from their 8 month photo shoot. It
pretty much captures their sparkling personalities. (sorry I'm a month behind in their photo updates!!)
Happy Holy Week!

Brelin,
Sleep training was pretty much a bust for us as well. When you have fraternal twins I think all bets are off in the sleep department. Yeah, I have 2 boys but that is the only similar trait. I have a kid who would probably sleep 15 hours a day and another who wakes up at all hours and refuses naps. I can't say it gets a lot better, but it does get a little better over time. Just know that you aren't alone!

TOTALLY JUST LUCK! and to be honest, you get more sleep in larger chunks the older they get, but they don't really seem to start sleeping through the night 95% of the time until they are like.... 3 or 4 it seems. But by then you are just so glad that it is most of the time you don't notice so much. :D LOVE YOU BRE!
