Blake used to be in bed and asleep by 9:00. Well, since my surgery and me not working, I have been very relaxed w/ his bedtime. So, its my fault I am dealing w/ his sleep issues.
Bobby and I decided last week we had to get him back on track. He will be starting kindergarten in a few months and can not go to school on little sleep. Plus, I am not getting enough sleep either. I can't sleep until I know Blake is asleep. Sometimes, I am too wired to fall asleep- I mean I have to force myself to stay awake until midnight and then bam....time to sleep. My body just doesn' work like that.
So, we broke out the best parenting tool - bribery. We told Blake when he can fall asleep in his bed and stay in his bed- he will be allowed to buy a video game. He was syked....but couldn't do it tonight.
I am hoping to fall asleep sooner rather than later.
Oh, Shay is supposed to come for a visit tomorrow--- we are excited. I hope we can do something fun while she is here.
*** I have some pictures to share- I will try to do that tomorrow***
