Long Night

Wow, it felt like there was a newborn in the Cruz household again last night. I say this because I don't think Duane and I got much sleep.
We decided to go to dinner around 6pm last night and with the waiter being VERY slow, we didn't get home until almost 9. That in itself is really late for the boys to be going to sleep. They were over tired trying to eat dinner (Nikolas decided to try and sleep vs eat). On top of being over tired, Nikolas has now caught a cold and has a hard time breathing out of his nose.

Around midnight, Nikolas got up to go to the bathroom but must not have made it because I woke up to him screaming and crying in the bathroom. That of course, woke his brother up. From there, it didn't get any better. I gave Kaden to Duane, changed Nikolas and brought him in our room to get him calmed down. Around 1, Duane started coughing like crazy. After that, Kaden decided he couldn't get comfortable and just tossed and turned and cried. I put him back in his crib, just for him to scream at the top of his lungs for 40 minutes. I couldn't take it anymore so I went back and got him. We got maybe an hour sleep after that, then he started all over again. Duane put him in his crib and made him cry it out for an hour. During all of this, I was so tired I didn't put Nikolas back in bed. So, of a king size bed, I had the very edge. Still had feet and/or head pushed into my back. UGH!

Duane says the boys are never allowed in our bed again! I can only hope that we both follow through with that. All four of us are very tired today. I'm thinking it will be an early night for us tonight!

Enough complaining, it's a new day and we might as well enjoy it. The sun is peeking out so some fresh air will do us all some good. I was able to put Kaden down for his morning nap. We leave for work and preschool in an hour and Nikolas can't wait. It's been four days since he was there last and he really enjoys going.

We hope everyone has a wonderful day. I need to go and make some coffee now before Mickey Mouse Clubhouse puts me to sleep.

Love to all!
