We all know that new babies will keep you up at night, and you won’t get much sleep at the beginning. For those of us with more than one child, we also know that EVENTUALLY things will get better. However, when you’re back at the beginning again, and in the middle of those sleepless nights, it’s sometimes hard to remember that sleep IS coming back…Eventually.
And one thing that we’ve definitely found out, is that with twins, sleep is even MORE rare…At least with our twins. Their sleep schedule is apparently they sleep only when the sun is out, so that’s fun. But with having another, older child in the mix, the sleep schedule is even smaller, because when the older sibling wakes up in the morning, there’s no going back to sleep once the little ones are down.
Luckily there’s this magical time sometime during the day called “nap time”….Now, the biggest dilemma a parent has comes during this time….What do YOU, as the PARENT do with this small chunk of time, where everyone under the age of 5 are all FINALLY unconscious together….Do you do chores? Do you take a nap yourself, and get rested; become human again?…Or are you part child as well, and choose to entertain yourself????
