Saturday night was possibly one of the most sleepless nights we've had since those first few testing months of Theo and Charlie's lives.
Theo has had the sniffles for a few days and he's been waking every so often during the night - but soon falls back off to sleep. Not so last night.
He awoke, screaming at about 1am and despite every trick we know to try and get him back off to sleep, NOTHING would work. Charlie meanwhile hardly murmured. Eventually at about 3:30, Theo drifted off......for about half an hour. He was then awake for about another hour before Charlie decided that he'd had enough sleep and took the baton from Theo!
It was now about 6am and we'd had about 30 mins sleep since Theo first woke. They both stayed asleep until around 6:45 when we gave up and got them and ourselves up. The best though was yet to come.
We feed them breakfast in their high chairs at about 7:30 but at about 7:45, Charlie decided he wanted to see all the milk we'd fed him 30 minutes earlier - all over himself, the highchair, the floor - I think even Monty got a splash!
A quick clean up later and during a post-breakfast rest in their cots, Theo also decided that his breakfast needed to make another appearance! Marvellous.
I suppose the fact that we're writing about this just goes to show how unusual a night it was. In the main, they have both been absolute angels at night since about 3 months. Let's hope last night was a one off....
