Kingston is an amazing sleeper. Every mom's dream in the sleep department. At bed time or nap time, I just lay him in his crib and cover him with a blanket. He needs 2-7 pacis in his hand and one in his mouth, and hes good. He smiles as I stroke his face and babbles himself to sleep.
And then he sleeps. A good three hours at nap time and 12 hours at night.
That is - unless his bestie wakes him up.
Kyrie is a good sleeper. Not amazing. Not horrible. But good. He won't lay down when I put him in his crib. He stands. He throws everything out of his crib except his taggie blanket. He's been that way since forever. Although oddly enough the last few days he has wanted blankets in with him. And he stays standing after I kiss him and leave the room.
And then he sleeps, but not for as long. He wakes up much earlier than Kingston. Around 6ish. And his naps are only for about 2 hours, sometimes less.
But the best is when he wakes up. I sneak in the room to try to get Kyrie out before he wakes up his brother. The second he sees me open the door he is reaching across the room to the other crib and yelling, "BROTHER! BROTHER!" Only hes not even 2 so it sounds more like, "BUH-BOO! BUH-BOO!"
So I grab him and quick get out of the room.
And he cries all the way down the stairs because we had to leave his best friend behind.
As much as he wants to get out of bed, he wants his brother too. Its so sweet and precious.
I thank God every day that these precious boys have each other. They've experienced a lot of loss in their sweet, short lives. But they'll always have each other. They'll always have their brother. Their best friend.
And I love that.
