Got Sleep?

Last night we went to Yogurtland which is always a treat. Ethan was very happy with his own cup of pink and brown ice cream (strawberry and chocolate) with sprinkles. The fun shortly ended as we entered into our neighborhood the "wrong way", aka the back way via a different street. Ethan was tired so it went downhill from there. He has to open and close the garage door when we come and go so I gave him the remote to open it. He was slow to do it so I ended up doing it which of course just lead to more of a meltdown. Once in the house Jared took off his shoes and he fell to the ground in dismay because he wanted to do it himself. After several minutes of him moaning on the floor in front of the toilet because he didn't "have to go pee", we finally got him to get ready for bed. We were able to end the night on a happier note and get into bed ourselves around 9:30. At 11pm Ethan woke upset for some unknown reason and Jared was able to get him back in bed without waking Tanner. Phew, back to sleep. At 12am Tanner wakes and wants to eat. At 2am Ethan woke asking to watch a show, and promptly went and turned on the TV. Again Jared convinced him to go back to bed with some milk. We got back to bed, and on schedule Tanner woke at 3am to eat again. As soon as he finished, and we put him back to bed, he proceeded to totally mess his diaper, so we got up again to change him. Then sure enough, at 4am, Ethan woke having wet the bed which we expected would happen since he had too much to drink too late. We changed the sheets and his clothes, and after calming him down, we all got back to bed and slept for a bit until our day officially started with both boys waking at 6am. Maybe once they're teenagers we will get back to a normal sleep routine!
