Mom confessions

While most people are trying to get their kids to sleep at night, I am waking mine up. Or trying, at least. We put the boys to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. We usually head upstairs to bed between 10:00 and 11:00, so they've been sleeping for two to three hours by then. Of course I give Isaiah a hug and kiss. He very rarely wakes up no matter what I do or say. Sam is a little more difficult to hug because he's still in his crib. So I'll usually pick him up and hold him. Until a few nights ago, Sam would wake right up and we'd goof off for a few minutes. Then I'd put him back in bed and he'd go right back to sleep. For the last two or three nights, as soon as I pick him up, he points to his crib and leans back in! The kid wants to go back to sleep instead of having his nightly play time with mommy!
