Sleep

It took a week of no therapy for us to realize that our kids really need to nap more. Both of our therapists canceled this past week and it gave us an entire week to create our own schedule. Therapy is only 2 days each week, but it seems that it really affects our overall schedule. We have to revolve our schedule around having the kids ready, fed, and awake for the therapists (or wake them up if they happen to be sleeping). It makes it impossible to keep a consistent daily schedule. But, we found out this past week that our kids do MUCH better when we can have the same schedule each day and not have to be woken up for therapy. They took great naps and were much less fussy this past week. I guess we'll just have to make sure the 5 days they don't have therapy are all pretty consistent because we like happy, sleeping babies!

AMEN to happy, sleeping babies. AMEN! Everything else seems to fall into place when they get enough sleep. I suppose the same is true for us, huh?!

Babies and children thrive on a predictable schedule.
