First and foremost, Thomas slept ALL night long in his bed. What a glorious way to wake up on Easter morning! He is well rested & refreshed and possibly even on a new positive sleep schedule. Of course, yesterday was a rough day for him with many a consequences:
- We have had to resort to no TV... that means NO cartoons & movies. Yesterday was a rude awakening for him. Although on the flip side, we played a lot outside and enjoyed lots of toys instead.
- Because he has not been getting a true full nights sleep, he has been whiny and moody for quite some time. Yesterday, we had enough. There were many timeouts along with his toy swords, knives and guns being taken away because he just would not listen to what was inappropriate with them.
On a similar note, Abby woke this morning around 5:45. I got up and scooped her out of her crib. With the house still dark from the early morning hour, we rocked and cuddled for a few minutes. Before I knew it we were laying together on the couch and she was snuggled in the crook of my arms and chest half awake & asleep. This is not something that Abby is usually a fan of. After about half an hour on the couch, we sat outside on the back porch listening to the morning birds and talking.
Shortly after 6:30, Thomas awoke and joined us outside. After coming in - they realized that the Easter Bunny had visited us in the night and there were baskets to raid and enjoy. Daddy was woken next by the Easter commotion. The rest is history... Easter baskets were opened, snacks eaten and new books and toys played with. What a good start to a beautiful Easter Sunday.
