Smarty Pants

Lizzy has been having trouble falling asleep lately. Bedtime starts at 7.30pm and lights out is at 8.15. However, there have been a number of nights lately where she's still been awake at 10.00pm.

Tonight, we talked about some things she could do to help herself fall asleep. One of them was counting with her eyes closed. I knew she wouldn't be asleep by 100, so I told her to count to 1000. I had to search for her "blankey" and when I returned I asked her what number she was up to. 156. What a smarty pants :) The counting must of worked. She was asleep about 15 mintues later when I checked on her. Or maybe it was sheer exhaustion from a week of not getting enough sleep.

Happy 1/2 Birthday

Kai is 6 months old today. I didn't realise until last night that I'll always know when Anita is something and a half years old because Kai & her have birthdays exactly 6 months apart. Happy Birthday Anita :)

Anyway...here are some photos of the "birthday" boy from a a few days ago.
