Sleeping Struggles

I mentioned we've all been sick.  All but Sydney that is.  That girl is NEVER sick.  And when she does get sick, it's for like, a day.  I would covet her immune system if it was actually transferrable and it wasn't a sin.  Another great thing she got from her birthmom!  Anyway, I digress, but the kids have been giving me a run for my money every time I try to get them to sleep.  My favorite was yesterday.  I was desperately trying to get them to nap so I could stop being so frazzled and maybe even sleep myself since I had hardly slept for 3 nights in a row.  They kept talking, getting up, and generally being wiggly.  I then found Sydney out of bed going potty.  I calmed myself down by reminding myself that this was the one valid reason for being out of bed.  Then I noticed her naked feet.

Me: "Um, why did you take your socks off?"
Syd: "I didn't, Mady did."
Me: "How did Mady take your socks off?" (she's still in a crib)
Syd: "Mady asked me to put my feet in her crib, so I did and she took them off."
Me:  deep breathing...... "Why were you out of bed?"
Syd: "ummmmm"

I decided to ignore this and put her back in bed.
Syd: "I need socks!"
Me: "You shouldn't have taken them off!  Stay in bed."

A few minutes later I cam back in to find Sydney sitting up in bed putting on a new pair of socks. 

Me: "Why did you get out of bed!?!"
Syd: "I didn't!"
Me: "Where did you get the socks?"
Syd: "Ummmmmm.."

Don't you love toddlers?

Hilarious. So did Aaron bring this home to you guys and then leave you to deal with it? I am so sorry. Hang in there, and call your VT's to take your kids so you can nap!!
