Thankful for clocks.
They tell you how many times you get up in the middle of the night to feed your almost 3 month old baby, as well as your almost 4 year old son who says he had a nightmare and wants to climb in bed with you.
I just got Bug his own clock for his room. Put dark tape over the second hand digital numbers so that only the hour is showing, and posted a list that says the following:
1 = Stay in bed.
2 = Stay in bed.
3 = Stay in bed.
4 = Stay in bed.
5 = Stay in bed.
6 = Stay in bed.
7 = Can come out!
Here is hoping that it helps him not to get up at 5am thinking it is time to watch TV!

What a great idea!! You'll have to post again and tell us if it works. *hugs*
LOL! He is smart enough to understand that. What a neat idea.
As for your multiple nighttime feedings....I am right there w/you!
I will be up in a couple hours, and couple hrs after that, and that.
Good idea! Remind me of this in a year or so when they're not in cribs and I'm pulling my hair out! *L*
We did the same thing with my 4 year old. Except didn't cover the other numbers. And it was 6 that she had to wait till. With the time change that's even a struggle and some days it's not even 6. Sheesh.
I love the clock idea! I am also grateful for the internet (your other post). Blogging is such a wonderful thing. I also love having any information at my fingertips, and it is so easy to stay up on our finances and stay connected with people.
