Life without sleep

Who knew you could live on only 4hours of sleep a night. Oh, you can, but it is not enjoyable...for anyone!

I feel like talking about my boys, shocker, I know:) Jett is just my little man. I still can't believe I have a three year old. Gees, where does the time go...ah, yes, it is spent mostly awake at night. We are having a lot of fun together and it's so fun having conversations with him. The other night we were watching American Idol (Yea! David Cook) and they were showing some of the bad singers. I look over at Jett and his face was in disgust. When the singer finished he looked over at me and said, "Mommy, that was not good"! We are still working on potty training...he is one very stubborn child. He can pee great in the toilet, but he's all talk when it comes to taking a duke. We are working on our letters and how to spell his name. So far this is what it looks like tttt:) He thinks he big stuff cause he can write the letter t. I think he's fabulous!

Brayden! Ah, the wonderful and yet sleepless life of the Bray man. We have had a very long and tired road with Brayden, boy is he lucky he's so cute:) We finally got some answers this month and we decided to get tubes in his ears. We got them this last Tuesday...and it was like I was waiting for Christmas. The doctor said that when they drained the fluid, it was like syrup. Poor kid, I'd cry all the time too if I had that junk in my head. We were so excited to see the results, but unfortunately he came down the a very high fever (104) that night and is still sick, so we are up all night still. BUT, he is happier during the day, despite being sick. Usually he would cry about 75% of the day and now he is overall very happy and content. At night he still wakes up, but it is just to be held because he feels horrible. But he is not up for three hours at a time screaming in pain...and for that we are thankful. So hopefully as soon as he gets better, it will be smooth sleeping, I mean, sailing:) He is starting to talk a bit more lately and he has found the wonder of looking out the front window. He likes to put the stool in front and step up and down looking out the window. We encourage cheap entertainment! He gives the best hugs and I can't image my life without him...well, rested comes to mind, but he is worth every wakeful minute!
