Since the girls have moved to "big girl beds" Sam and I have had a lot of trouble getting them to go to sleep. On an average night it takes them about an hour and a half to fall asleep from the time that we actually tuck them in. During this hour and a half they are getting out of their beds, taking books off of their bookshelves, laughing, talking , singing, opening and shutting their door, going in their brothers' room, and doing anything but laying down and trying to go to sleep. Sam and I have tried all sorts of things to get them to stay in their beds, but we haven't found anything that works just yet. We are hoping that next week when they start school they will be so wiped out in the evenings that they will just crash when we tuck them in bed!
Here are some pictures that I took the other night after these little wild girls FINALLY conked! I laughed so hard when I walked in to find Miss Emmy Claire asleep sitting up! Just look at her!
Emmy Claire hanging tight to "Raffi" and "Purpely". My Nana made the girls purple satin blankets a.k.a. "Purpely" when they were tiny. Purpley is always in tow around bedtime!
On this particular night Ella Cate fell asleep in her bed. However other nights I have found her asleep on the floor.
Carson goes to sleep fairly easy as long as he is allowed to sleep with the toy of his choice.
This particular night he chose to sleep with his Bumblebee Transformer, and some other random McDonald's toy.
