So we drove to Quebec Friday night, after bedtime, thinking it was a great move: I mean they should sleep all the way there and we get to just put them in bed when we get to my parents` house. WRONG!
So Christina woke up twice with a piercing screech that went right through you, waking up Catherine once (don`t ask me why only once). When Catherine woke up at around 1Am (no screaming of sibling required) near the border, she was too excited to fall asleep. So she stayed awake...essentially until 3:30AM! And of course Christina had trouble sleeping also.
So when 6:30AM came around this AM and Catherine was up, we èncouraged`her to sleep (use your imagination of how encouraging two parents can be with 2-3 hours sleep). So eventually we were up by 8AM.
The rest of Saturday went OK...because the girls were too tired to stay awake! What a great thing to be cranky, unable to sleep and overtired! The great joys parenthood bring you. It has been fun to watch my father enjoy holding Christina and interacting with Catherine. I am so exhausted, I fell a sleep twice writing this entry...so I will say....zzzz.z...zzz...
