I have a rule and that no one can wake up for the day when it is still dark.

I also want to win the lottery and wear size 6 jeans at Christmas.

He pops awake at around 5:45am and I stick him in the exersaucer, turn on the television, and try to get about 20 minutes more sleep.

I know I'm killing his brain with JoJo but the lack of sleep is going to do worse damage.

Aren't they supposed to be more tired when they start crawling around like lunatics, climbing on everything, and bumping their head so many times that you start shopping for "baby helmets?"

Nothing is sacred anymore, particularly small fuzzy balls and paper wads that get instantly stuffed in his mouth. I put him to bed the other night only to realize (after 20 minutes of screaming) that he had a piece of paper in there.

Nice one, huh?

And it's a bit hard to keep track of said paper treats when my eyes are half closed, and droopy, and

Oops. Head on the keyboard there.

Off to get some freaking sleeeeeeeeep, people.

my daughter was a paper eater too....we just figured it into her daily food consumption and kept it at a 2 piece minimum per day. She ate most of her books and lots of receipts in her day.

Ohhh I totally feel your pain. With a 4,2 1/2 and 11 month old I think that I am lucky to have more than 5 hours of sleep. I tried (a few) times to teach my kids that before the sun comes up rule.. but for some reason they just dont obey!! :)

You just listed my number one hang up about having a third child. I could handle everything (I think) except the sleep deprivation. Makes me want to put a gun to my head.

Oh, I know. Cordy has lately been waking up at 4AM. Seriously. It hurts just writing that.

I feel your pain. Mine hasn't been sleeping all that well either and it makes everyone tired with a short fuse. Joy!
