We slept in!

Oh it was so nice! The girls go down at 7 and usually get up around 7. This has been great except that Youngest still wakes up in the middle of the night wanting a drink of water. I've been letting her have one because it puts her right back to sleep and I've been too tired. But I know it's not good for her or me so last night was the first night we tried to not allow a nighttime drink.

It was a nightmare. I first let her cry to see if she would go back to sleep. This was around 9:30 btw. Her crying turned to screaming so I went in, picked her up, and tried to get her to calm down. Uh no, she wanted a drink and was ticked at me. lol So Spouse tried a turn and she was even more livid with him. Naturally all of this woke up Eldest who now wanted a drink also. Both were crying and then screaming because I left the room.

Well an hour later, we finally got them both back to sleep. Eldest did get up a few more times but Youngest stayed asleep thankfully. They didn't get us up until after nine. 9am I was still sleeping!! It was so nice and needed. Yay for sleeping in!
