Bedtime

Bedtime at our house is filled with the scent of baby shampoo and lotion. We are all in a our pjs, our favorite thing to wear. Plus don't you love children in pajamas? I think it is the cutest thing ever! You can hear Emily's nighttime music playing and Owen pleading for us to "lay with him all the minutes".  Last night O and E were both piled in our bed watching a little bit of a movie before bedtime. They both looked adorable with their blankets and milk.  I'll admit  bedtime isn't always so stress free. I often find myself frustrated longing for them both to be asleep so there can be quite, I can catch up on the "to do list", and maybe catch up on a tv show or two. Not to mention I'm never rested. Owen still likes to try and sneak in our bed in the middle of the night. However his trips are becoming less frequent and Emily still wakes up in the middle of the night. Not to eat but she is brought to our bed. She immediately falls back asleep but her little self takes up more room than I do. Everyone who has grown children are always saying, "enjoy your children, because they grow up so fast." I believe it, Owen just turned 5! So here is to no more stressing over the "to do's" and everything else and enjoying my sweet smelling babies. What is bedtime like for everyone else? Stressful, peaceful, or a little of both?
