You know, there are two beds in this room.

My boys both have their own beds, in the same room.  Yes, they share.  And they love it.  When we were faced with the dilemma of having our fourth bedroom downstairs and I was prego with number 3, we asked and they quickly agreed that they wanted to share a room.  So, we went bed shopping.  They had fun picking out the beds themselves.  And they got double beds.  Because hey, their boys, and I figured, why not get them more space?  Then, when it came to bedding, I also let them pick that out.  Stars Wars: The Clone Wars is what they wanted.  Believe me, I was totally against it but whatever, they wanted it (it still bothers me).  So, why, after all that work to create two large beds in a room with everything they wanted, do I walk into this every night?

Hey boys, if you wanted to sleep in the same bed, I could have saved money on a bed AND sheets.  Also, why did you want a double bed if you did not care about space?  Finally, how is it that you both sleep the exact same way?  Is that genetic?

  

Why Won't They Just Sleep In!

My children hate sleep.  At least that is my assumption based on the fact that no matter what time they go to bed, they love to come wake me up any time between 5:45am and 6:30am.  I just do not understand it.  This past Friday night we had a couple families over.  While parents enjoyed a bottle (or possibly a lot more than that) of wine and dinner, the kids were able to run around until their hearts content.  This led to children falling asleep in front of a movie at 10:30pm.  One would assume that this would be late for all children and due to complete exhaustion, they would sleep in.  Apparently not my boys.  While I am texting with a friend at 9am the next day about what a good time we had with them, she mentioned that her child is still asleep.  WHAT?!  All three of mine have been up since 6:30am!  NOT FAIR.  When will they learn that sleep is Ah-mazing?  Oh, I hope soon.
