Sleeping babies

Bedtime tonight did not go to plan.

Tucker was over-tired, cranky and fighting me every step of the way. I had to laugh - the boy was completely exhausted, I was trying to put him to bed, why was he fighting me?
The answer is of course, because he's four, over-tired and cranky, and didn't want to do anything. He went straight to sleep though so hopefully he'll feel better in the morning. He's also back to school tomorrow after the half-term holiday and I suspect being back to his normal routine will help as well.

Daisy decided she wanted absolutely nothing to do with mummy, did not want mummy reading her a story or putting her to bed and just cried for her daddy. Some battles are not worth fighting, and that was one of them, so I let James put her to bed. She was as good as gold for him, cuddled on his lap while he read her a bedtime story and settled straight into bed when he put her there.

And now Kit is fast asleep on me, thumb in her mouth, looking like a perfect angel. I'm going to have to put her in the cot soon and pray she doesn't wake up while I move her. I've been reading so I've just let her sleep where she is for now.

I think a fairly early night is in store for me as well, I'm beat after all the bedtime drama this evening. I did not set out to write about trying to put the little ones to sleep, I had planned on writing about my love for sailing but that will keep for another night.

I hope you're having a quiet, relaxing evening and that have good sleep and sweet dreams when you turn in for the night.
