Me Want Sleepy, Sleepy...

"Me Want Sleepy Sleepy..." is my new mantra. I am SO tired. I haven't had a real night's sleep since mid-April and I am about at my limit with Reagan. She is a beautiful, sweet, compassionate, funny, sweet, little girl by day and downright terrible at night!! I am losing my patience with her night tantrums - every time I go in there at night, it is harder and harder for me to be kind and patient with her.

Since my last post on her "night terrors" (when I said she was only getting up once), she has been getting up at least 2 or 3 times. Its probably my fault for not knocking of wood when I wrote that. I didn't realize how thankful I should be for only one tantrum per night...

I really love her, but something around here has to change. I just don't know what to do!

On the opposite side is Grant. My little trouper sleeps through the night (yes, even through the screaming) and wakes up happy and talking -- the same way he falls asleep at night. I took him to Wal*Mart last night for our "vacation" shopping trip. It ended up taking me an hour and a half and intruded on his bedtime. You wouldn't have known it by how quiet and happy he was in the cart! I wouldn't trade this sweet boy for anything.


P.S. Extra credit to the person who can name the movie I quoted. :-)
