Someone was up every hour of the night last night. I don't know if it's because Nathan and I went out and Ange put the girls down and we didn't say goodnight to them, so they were all restless or what.
Kate started yelling for me soon after midnight. Claire got up to poo at 2 and woke us up doing a little whisper/yell, "Will you please wipe my poo please?"
Kate's dreams are very real and she yells in her sleep, so soon after Claire was in bed and we were dozing off again, Kate started yelling, "mine! mine!", apparently fighting with her sisters in her dreams. Thankfully it didn't last long, but it takes a while for me to get back to sleep.
Then Claire got up sleep walking. She went and sat on the couch and didn't know why she was there. Soon after, Kate was yelling for me again. I went and put her head back on her pillow and untangled her sheet from her legs. That was at 5. At 6 she yelled again. I laid my big bellied body down next to her, hoping she'd go back to sleep, but she just started touching my face and saying, "Ah browin?" "Yes, that's my eye brow." "Pellow?" "Yes, that's your pillow." Eventually Riley, who is scared of even the half dark of morning, and runs everywhere through the house when she is scared, came banging down her ladder as fast as she could, slammed her bedroom door behind her in her fearful rush, ran stomping down the hallway to the bathroom, and landed safely on the toilet. Kate knew it was Riley and got very excited and said, "I'n awake!" And so we were.

Poor thing! I had to laugh at the poop whisper though. Poor Claire.
The safe toilet landing is hilarious. Thanks heavens for good strong coffee!
I still run to the toilet whenever it's dark. Hope your kids grow out of that stuff. Tyler has his hands full. Sorry you didn't sleep much. At least we can all laugh about it now...
that is a big compliment. I mean, removing texting from your plan is like taking 7 steps backwards in a dating relationship... when everyone has internet on their phones! let alone texting. claire's quote is very funny. she might be the funniest girl in the world.
