Sleep Habits: Kids

Our kids are both so very different when they sleep. Bryton must thrash, toss, and turn...because when we check on him in the night, his covers are never on him and usually at least one is on the floor. And this can happen in a matter of a half an hour! Avery, on the other hand, sleeps like a mummy. Her sheets and blankets stay in the same position, as when she's tucked in at bedtime...and when she gets up in the morning they are rolled back neatly where she exits.

The other funny difference is how they wake up in the middle of the night, when kissing their foreheads and giving goodnight wishes. It is common for Bryton to pop straight up out of bed, look around very disoriented like, and say something crazy, like "wow, that was weird!" Avery stays in the position she is in (usually on her back...again, mummy like :), opens her eyes immediately, says "good night, Mommy/Daddy...I love you" in an alert little robot voice...all the while never moving an inch.

you should sleep in the same room with Bryton! The strangest things come out of his mouth :) It would be interesting to watch his dreams.
