Toddlers. They Need Their Sleep

Happy 2015!!! 

Last evening we got the wee ones together to celebrate the New Year. Declan was excited all day to go see the kids. Not long after we got there he discovered the cash of Lego in MacGregor's room and that was it. He spent over an hour all alone playing with the Lego. The other kids off in the basement and Declan just plays alone with all the machines and little Lego people. He was happy but he'd been so excited to see other kids and Lego won. Not long before bedtime all the kids did play for a while in MacGregors room together jumping on the beds.

The evening got away from us. The kids were all playing so well. We past Declan's 7pm bedtime and then 8pm and then 9pm, it was nearly 10pm when we put him to bed. He was so tired. First one asleep though. We're so lucky.

In the morning he was right back to the Lego. Everyone else was in the living room when Declan runs into the room and says "does anybody hear a train?" There actually was a big train going right by the house at that moment. He watched for a minute before running back to the Lego. Finally for a short while before we headed out Declan and Chelsey chaced each other aroun the house and giggled for a while.

Got our little guy home and it was such a quiet day. 9:45 is simply too late for the Muffin Man. He was exhausted all day. So mellow and sleepy. Napped hard and didn't want to get up. He sat beside me and played a Lego game on my phone for nearly an hour in the evening. I sure hope he gets lots of sleep tonight.
