Another sleepless night in hmb

I guess it goes with the territory. You finally get into bed, get both children to sleep and you lay there wondering what kind of night lays ahead. Earlier in the week Charlie slept three nights (once again count with me....woooo, duooo, weeee..charlies new numbers...a big improvement from duo, that, this...dont ya think?) three nights in a row all by himself. 10-11 hours straight. incredible we thought. Mothers shook their heads and laughed as I bragged that my nearly 2 year old was sleeping through the night. I was no fool, though. Like everything with parenting, and I mean everything, as soon as you figure something out it changes. I knew our nighttime parenting with Charlie wasn't over just yet, and boy was I right.

Two nights ago Charlie woke up every hour starting at 2 crying so hard and asking for me. After a few hours Adam and I switched, he took the baby and I went in with Charlie. Shortly there after the baby needed me, and I found myself once again caught between two little kids on a single mattress on the floor. 

Last night was even worse. I am not sure if Adam will be able to drag himself out of bed this morning, as we were both up most of the night with our dear charlie. Poor little dude was vomiting throughout the night, mostly laying on his back, choking on it and swallowing it again. This kid is so precious that everytime he was finished with his vomiting he would turn towards me with his eyes mostly closed and say, "all done"

Just now as I was making a very strong cup of Jo, think I'll need several today, Charlie vomited all over the carpet, finally getting up what he struggled with all night long. As I looked over I expected to see my little guy crying but instead he was looking up so innocently at me and said, "all done" and then ran to grab his vacuum.

Have I mentioned before how much I love this creative, loving, curious, ever so sweet little boy. He is full of life that even coming off of two sleepless nights I can't do anything but smile at him and enjoy his company.
