Our Rock and Roller

For as long as we have known our little angel, she has rocked herself to sleep at night.  For a few months, I thought she had grown out of it but no...

Last night, Kristina slept with me since Daddy is away with friends in Vegas.  I swear, I should have a welt on my left side of my forehead as Kristina rocked side-to-side so hard that she almost knocked me out cold!  (When she rocks side to side, each shoulder alternately comes up off the bed with both arms bent at the elbow as if doing some hot dance move.)  I only hope by the time she marries, she outgrows this nightly ritual...

Today when we woke up, we had to laugh at her hair.  Hey, people pay lots of money on stylists and product to get their hair to look like this!

Maybe a new trendsetting style?!

super cute!! hopefully she was AOK with the detangling, too :) our LM is quite the restless fall asleep guy, too -- he has always rolled around like a wild man, although that has chilled a bit.. but he still lingers from time to time with his need to put his feet up and kick the headboard... and he does it more when he is overtired or anxious about something...i guess old self soothing behaviors die hard. i must admit i DO love that he will now lay in my arms and fall asleep -- i only do it a couple times/week and i know it goes against all "say night night and go" rules -- but it took us so long to get to this point, and i just love the warmth sleeping snuggle!! glad you gals are enjoying some extra mom/girl snug time!!

Love the hairdo. Colby is a restless sleeper too. The night we shared the bed with him in Ekat no one got sleep but him. I got headbutted and Mike got the feet in the gut. Still the same. Can't settle down. But he's always on the go so I'm not so surprised.

My gosh - that hair is killing me! Too bad it's not crazy hair day at school . . .

Thanks for taking the day off to celebrate Finland's independence (from Russia;)!) - hope you're feeling better soon!

Hmmmm ... maybe it's an EKAT thing ... Roman is such a restless sleeper and if he is overtired he has night terrors and cries out! The other night I put him to bed in his bed and went up to our room an hour later and there he was sleeping on my bed! Since I didn't expect him I had turned on the light and we both said .."what are you doing in here"!! Not the first time he has sleepwalked but usually we just find him wandering in his room!
