Bedtime Update

A few of you have been requesting an update on how bedtime is going. So far, so good. It is still taking the E-man about 20-25 minutes to settle down and fall asleep, but he is staying in bed! Our deal is that he has to be quiet while he lays in bed, and that is still a struggle. Usually we hear "MAMA, NEEEEED YOU!" numerous times, but he seems to be remembering to keep it soft enough not to wake up his little brother. Between calling me in every creative way he can think of, and telling the dragons to go home and go to sleep, it's pretty entertaining to listen to the little guy. He hasn't lost his #7 yet, but we've shown mercy and added one "warning" to the plan. He's used his warning each night, but the reminder seems to take care of things after that.


Tonight will be the real test. I have Bible Study and Henrik will be on his own. Typically, it's a bit tougher getting the boys to bed when one of us is gone. You're all invited to pray for Henrik and E anytime during the 8:45 - 9:15 p.m. time frame!!! Thanks!
