The Young and the Restless

How about an update on sleeping arrangements? Lucas has been doing much better with his big-boy bed! Granted, he still wakes up sometimes during the night, but at least we (mostly Mommy, per request) don't have to sit in there with him waiting for him to drift back to sleep ... we just lay him back down (though this sometimes takes several attempts). And when he goes down at bedtime, he goes to sleep on his own without yelling for us first. This gives us anywhere from 20-60 minutes extra each evening ... fantastic!

Megan is also doing much better. She no longer needs to be held in order to sleep. She'll sleep anywhere from 3-5 hours on her own at night. When this coincides with Lucas sleeping through the night, Mommy and Daddy are very happy! Though, the kiddos do still like to play tag team every once and a while and keep Mommy and Daddy up most of the night. Ah, well ... at least we've made progress.


It also looks like we have another thumb-sucker on our hands. While this may be harder to break than a pacifier, it is nice in the middle of the night when Megan can sooth herself. Here's the proof:
