As I mentioned before, it's been a crazy week. I didn't get home until 1:30 a.m. this morning. I was tip-toeing up the stairs hoping not to wake anyone and creeping over to the lamp on my nightstand planning to turn on the dimmest light - just enough to see while I got ready for bed. Before I can turn on the light, I hear a sweet, familiar and awfully cheerful little voice, "Hi Mommy". I get to the lamp and turn it on. Sure enough, there's Dylan sleeping happily in Mommy's spot on the bed. Marcos is still snoring away and has no idea Dylan was ever curled up next to him. A bit of a struggle as he tried to negotiate sleeping on the floor when I told him he had to go back to bed. Eventually he settled down happily with my silly routine of tucking him in at bedtime. Once we got to that, he asked me when it was going to be 7:00 (we use 7:00 as a way of telling him that it's not time to get out of bed yet-although it's often more like 6:30), smiled and snuggled down into his pillow. Thank goodness! And no waking up for the baby. So even though I didn't get to bed until 2-ish, at least I got my full 5 hours :)
This morning Dylan was so set on the idea of pancakes. So even though I have had several late nights and will probably have another pretty long day, I got out of bed, showered, and made pancakes for my boys. I think the mix is a little on the old side because they didn't taste wonderful to Marcos or me, but the kids didn't seem to mind. Needless to say, we'll be throwing that out and starting with some new fresh stuff just in case. But either way, it was still a good family bonding moment, despite the ever-growing bags under my eyes.
