Sleepy Heads!

Ok I love how kids can fall asleep in the most random positions and places. Noah is my "early bird" baby! No matter what time I put him to bed the night before he gets up super early the next morning. I'm lucky if he sleeps in until 6am! Seriously.

A couple months ago Noah decided he was going to get up for the day at 4AM! No joke, he did this everyday for almost a month. He really has a set of lungs too, so I can't just let him cry himself back to sleep! Once he's made his mind up that he's awake there is NO putting him back to sleep. So... during this time period I would finally give up, let him come out of his room, and put Baby Einstein on for him. For a few weeks it worked! He'd be entertained by it for about an hour and then would come looking for me in my bedroom. So, at least I got to go back to bed for a little nap.

Now he just wakes up around 5 or 5:30am so Ron and I take turns getting him. (Ron's turn to get up with Noah seems to be more frequent than mine?!!?! Thank you Ronnie!)

Mason has ALWAYS liked sleeping in bed with Ron and I. It started when he was really little. He wouldn't sleep in the bassinet very good. So occasionally I'd let him fall asleep in bed with us. Initially I'd wake up worried that I would accidentally roll onto him or something. But of course I never did. Then when he started sleeping in a crib if he ever woke up and we couldn't get him back to sleep we'd just bring him to bed with us.

Now Mason sleeps in his own bed. Most mornings Ron and I wake up to find Mason in bed with us. (Keep in mind he ALWAYS starts out in his own bed). We wake up having NO recollection of him crawling into bed with us or anything during the night. At night just before bedtime he usually tries to coax us by saying "I want to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed." It's really hard to say no when he asks so nice but I know it's best for him to learn to sleep in his own bed. I just don't know what we are going to do about him sneaking in at night. I honestly NEVER hear him come in! Crazy how kids can be quiet and sneaky when they want to!
