Before midnight: Catching up with DH...
.... and then it's midnight again. What is your schedule like?
It's funny how mom's schedules look so daunting!! Here's our Summer Sched: (and it's funny how our schedule stars in the middle of the night!)

Obviously my life revolves around N and a little around M!! I don't know how I am able to get any work done.
Before N was sleeping 8-10 hours at night na but since she's turned 6 months, she's been waking up 2x a night. Maybe it's hunger? She actually eats so much solids now. Next week, we're starting theater classes for M so J will be busy bringing her. :)
Hi Kris! i know - that 3am thing is not only the witching hour - must be the milking hour too. S has recently been more fidgety in the evenings too. She has transferred to the big bed officially since March. I'm interested in theater classes for K too! I'll check again next year - she's too young for this year. Enjoy the summer!
