Bedtime decisions plus some cute video's of bubs...

I have really been struggling with what to do about bedtime with BriAnn. I think I have figured out that she doesn't need as much sleep as she used to....but that she still NEEDS a nap. Does any of that make sense? lol. All of my kids are in bed by 7:00-7:30pm, but then I spend 1 to 2 hrs trying to keep BriAnn in her bed. So, as I mentioned, she still needs a nap during that day, but she isn't tired enough to be going to bed at 7pm. So I have been keeping her up until about 8:00pm everynight, and that seems to help a little bit with the staying in her bed issue. But then....there is the issue of her waking up in the middle of the night and me, after finally falling asleep, having to get back up to put her back into her bed, which wakes up baby Easton....who keeps me up for 30 mins again after I get back into bed. So after alot of pondering and praying...Eran and I have decided that we are sick of forcing her to stay in her own bed in the middle of the night. The only reason why I kept on putting her back to bed is because that is what, "you are supposed to do" according to the experts. I don't see what is sooo wrong with letting your child come and sleep in between mommy and daddy in the middle of the night. I LOVE sleeping and snuggling with her! She is our baby, she is growing up WAY to fast, and I would HATE to someday regret not letting her sleep with me. She is going to be a teenager before I know it, and someday I am really going to miss her snuggles and her sweet little voice saying, "mommy, can I sleep with you?" The only expert that is best for my children is Eran and I, and we are going to embrace moments like these that we have with our babies. So...we compromised with BriAnn and told her that she has to sleep in her bed while mommy and daddy are awake, and then if she wakes up in the middle of the night and we are sleeping, then she can come and sleep with us if she so wishes. And you know what? We are going to love every moment of it!! Cause I can guarantee you that our kids won't be as snuggly when they are teenagers!

So....with that said.....here is a cute video of Ethan doing the signs for "Roll your hands" and "Popcorn Popping." He LOVES singing songs, and following along with the signs. =O)
