Who needs sleep?

We're spoiled with three kids who are usually great sleepers. Tonight, not so much.

7:30 pm: All three in bed and quiet.
9:00 pm: Mommy and Daddy are sleeping, too.
11:30 pm: Molly is up, crying. I go in to lay her back down and comfort.
11:48 pm: Molly is up, crying. I think she's warm so we go out to the kitchen for temp check, Tylenol, sippy cup, comfort and back to bed. Check on Jack. He's cool.
11:56 pm: Molly up, crying, comfort, etc.
12:48 am: Molly up. Comfort. Jackson up. Kitchen, Tylenol, sippy cup, he jabbers about candy. Sings Appletree, counts stars, says prayers.
1:17 am: Molly up. Out to chair to rock in the dark. Set a ten minute time limit. Didn't say a word to her, just rocked. Back to bed.
2:00 am: Mommy to couch because Daddy is snoring. Watching tv.
4:05 am: Alarm goes off. Time to work a full day with no hope for a nap.

At least Natalie slept all night...
