Saving Our Sleep

 My blogging has been a little sparse lately.  I have been busy with this...

 Preschool takes a lot of my time but we have a lot of fun and the boys are learning so much!

Zane has been busy because he was building this....

 Dallin's new hideaway.  When Gavin started sleeping through the night, Dallin started waking up.  He discovered how much he enjoyed sleeping in our bed.  At first we (or I should say I did as Zane ended up on the edge of the bed and never liked him sleeping with us) allowed it, then we tried to put a stop to it.  Breaking that habit started a new habit of putting him back to bed by sleeping in his bed.  Breaking that habit meant sleeping outside his door.  The list could continue on and on.  At 2 a.m. we just kept coming up with more and more bad ideas.  During one sleepless night of multiple wake ups (Dallin got in the habit of waking up every 2 hours), we joked about making a high bed like our brother-in-law made for his son.  We figured he would be too scared to climb down or break his neck doing it.  Zane mentioned it to Dallin joking around and that started both of them dreaming of the new bed and the car toddler bed not being cool anymore.  While Zane had two days off of work, he built the bed with his two little helpers.

The bed is a hit.  Dallin can climb down during the night without breaking his neck, but he is choosing not to because he loves his bed!  His habit of waking up every two hours has ended and we are all getting sleep!!!  Can I say again how much we love this bed!  Thanks Jake for the inspiration and for giving Zane pointers.
