Loved, loved, loved this post because your experience reminds me of my own so much. When Michael was the same age as Coy, I would have to sit in the therapy room too with a newborn and it is a lot of work. Kudos to you and all your hard work. Your kids are absolutely adorable!Lisa Swendsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090274132246876412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965622768859507625.post-40007337601073261492009-09-05T23:51:30.156-05:002009-09-05T23:51:30.156-05:00Great pix, Anne Marie!

I wish I had some words of wisdom to you about the sleeping issue, but I had trouble with Chris until he was in kindergarten and soccer. He was so worn out at the end of the day that he finally slept in his own bed and stayed alseep. :) You're doing such a great job and your kiddos are thriving. I know this too shall pass! You're still all in my prayers.

I used it on Julian and just recently for Max. It does work and he's an MD from Harvard. Opposite of Dr. Sears but hey, I'm more practical then touchy-feely.<br /><br />Amyamyoutlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040907954703337912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965622768859507625.post-62120221067897516382009-09-03T09:29:34.136-05:002009-09-03T09:29:34.136-05:00I love the picture of Coy resting his head on Cydn...I love the picture of Coy resting his head on Cydney's!!! Oh, Jay never finishes anything either, and he would not do anything without me holding his hand until he was about 2 1/5. If we were somewhere new or there were "new" people around for get it, I had to carry him or he was hiding between/behind my legs!! My dad used to tell him "You can't go back, once your out that's it". Now he is one of the most independent kiddos out there. Glad you updated! Loved seeing the pictures!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965622768859507625.post-43685272800577714592009-09-03T06:05:08.185-05:002009-09-03T06:05:08.185-05:00I so feel your pain about kids not wanting to slee...I so feel your pain about kids not wanting to sleep at night. It wasn't until Hank was 3 1/2 before he EVER slept thru the night! Right when Jace was born hank finally started, after we put child proof handles on the INSIDE of his bedroom door so he couldn't open it and come out. That only lasted about a week before he figured them out. ha! Eventually we started cutting his naps shorter and he would sleep better at night. We had to move Hank to a toddler bed due to him crawling out of his crib too, so we got him the Step 2 Firetruck bed to make it "fun and exciting" and he couldn't roll out b/c it had higher sides than most. He loved it! As for Jace, he is trying to give up naps now, but when he DOESN't nap he stays up later and doesn't sleep as good. Thankfully with Hank being in school now, we are getting up WAY earlier so Jace is tired and WANTS to nap most of the time. Every child is different and I'm sure with preemies it's even harder to figure out what to expect from them. Don't worry about Coy not finishing a task before starting others.... Hank is 5 1/2 and he doesn't do anything longer than 10 minutes!! Lol... sad to say it's just BOYS! =) ha!marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834041427867845262noreply@blogger.com
