I think my biggest failing as a mommy (for the moment) is that I have ZERO patience for bedtime shenanigans. When Greyson won't lay and STAY laying down while we read books it just drives me crazy. When he's constantly going up and down the bed I just want to throttle him. Really I just want to shut him in his room and walk away. I have no patience for this.
Michael on the other hand is WONDERFUL with bedtime. He puts Greyson to bed most nights and honestly I don't know how he does it without ripping out his hair. I can't take it.
Once Greyson goes to sleep he's been much better about staying asleep, so that is something. But seriously, bedtime has never been something this family has done well and it shows! We have got to be better about it and I really hope that we get a handle on it and MayBaby proves to be a better sleeper than her brother.
AHHH!!!

So I have to tell you, I laughed when I read this because I was sitting up with Isaac, at 9:30, because he was fighting sleep...not hard, but definately didn't want to sleep. We had started bedtime about 7:45 and by 9:30 I was like lets just go sit on the couch and watch TV. Some nights he's great, other nights a nightmare..most nights his dad puts him to sleep but I did it last night and its like GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!!
I hate to say this- but its an Amick trait! Libby and I were the same way! Libby STILL is up all night- I don't think shes slept more then 5 hours in 24 years! LOL
Hopefully May Baby will have the Perry sleep gene! : ) Hang in there!! Before you know it he will be a teenager who sleeps 24/7! : )

Callie - It is totally an Amick thing! I was the same way. Doesn't mean it doesn't make me grumpy now though :)
