Sleep, sweet sleep.

We have had a very...... interesting Novemeber thus far. Apparently the wee hours of the morning are the best times for 1 year olds to be awake. Ayden has decided that he doesn't need to sleep anymore. He only takes ONE nap a day, and the most it ever is, is maybe 45 minutes. We put him to bed between 8 and 9 and then for some crazy reason he's up somewhere between 1 and 2... Now I'm not talking up as in, he needs a bottle and a diaper change and he goes back to sleep, were talking UP FOR HOURS!!! And the crazy thing is, he doesn't seem tired the next day. Take last night for example.... he got a total of 7 hours of sleep...yet today, he is happy and acting his normal self... I just don't know where he has this energy stored... If i find it, Im going to borrow some because its wearing me out! Tears... I was in tears this morning over it all... When you're overly tired i suppose the tears just come a little easier. Mama always says... This too shall pass. I just need to remember that!

Eli is a great almost 3 year old. Jamie and i are constantly having to remind ourselves that he's ONLY 2. Hes such a great helper that i think we tend to forget, he's really still a LITTLE guy too. Its unreal how fast he's growing. Spelling his name, singing his ABC's, starting to write, he knows his colors, shapes, and even recognizes some letters. Seems like just last week i was helping him get his balance. He's AMAZING with his brother. Yes, they do fight a little, but for the most part, Eli is REALLY patient. At times having the boys so close together is difficult, but man is it worth it!

Jamie and I are doing well. We have many things that we are praying about and contiplating. Seems that we have a clear direction, and now all we need is some follow through. Soon we will know where our next stop in life is, and I am very excited about taking this step in faith. Please continue to pray that we are HEARING Him clearly, and not being clouded by our own selfish desires.

I promise, im going to start doing this Blog thing more, we just got a computer desk last night, so now I can be in the same room with the boys without sitting on the floor while im on the computer! YAY!
