Sleeping Beauties

Just as Danny and I have the most opposing sleep habits, same goes for our children. For some reason, Amelia can't get to sleep when she needs to and can't stay asleep when she needs to. Leo, on the other hand, takes after Danny and probably falls asleep before I close his door. They both wake up differently, too. Amelia creeps out of her room and comes in to see me - no matter what time it is or what rewards are waiting for her if she lets me sleep. This has been going on since she was 20 months old and in a big bed. Leo sleeps later, but screams holy murder from his bed until I (and only I) come and get him. Yes, he can get in and out of his bed. Isn't it more fun if Mommy comes and gets you?? In any case, the craziness of Amelia's bedtime and Leo's rooster calls all vanish when I check on them before I (finally) get to bed and they look so sweet. I love how Amelia fell asleep last night with her baby in her arms and Leo always has to have Yellow, Orange, Pink, Perry and, starting yesterday, Woody. And, no, I plan to get no sleep during our 2 week "vacation."
