Will it ever not be a struggle?

Can you guess?

Sleep. 

Sleep and my children. It never seems to come easy. I pushed bedtime back to 7:30 from its previous 8pm. Guess what?  It's 9pm and they are still awake!

Last night Miss Mae was awake until after 10 I'm praying we don't have a repeat of that. 

Tonight I'm laying here with Amelia's arm slung across my chest. I love the hugs and snuggles, the feeling of her little feet pressed against my leg, but really REALLY I need her to sleep. She needs to sleep. Please little girl - go to sleep!

(Not tonight.)

Update: 9:20 and she asleep. She holding on to my face, but asleep. 

Time to make my escape!
