I woke up to the boys fighting this morning. Emmett was freaking out because he needs everything in his life to match and when it doesn't, he panics and melts down.  This mornings disaster was caused because Elliott had been playing the Xbox for about an hour, while Emmett had only played for about half that amount of time. That was simply the way it worked out.  Emmett began to get really upset because the times didn't match. He wanted to play the exact number of minutes needed to match Elliott's time but that wasn't possible at the time. This led to a pretty shitty start to the day a massive meltdown.   All of Emmett's life, he's had to have things match. Christmas presents, pizza slices, how much drink…

Emmett had a tough time falling asleep last night. He came downstairs and sat with us for a little bit before Lizze took him back to bed.  We weren't sure if he was going to fall asleep in his own bed or move to ours at some point.   When Lizze and I went to bed, we found him fast asleep in his own bed. Awesome sauce...... ☺  I wouldn't be surprised if we we learn that he stayed in his bed because our room was too dark but who cares. This is major progress and what makes this so awesome is that he was able to work through this..  Great job Mr. Emmett..... ☺ 💙 

Last night was a long night and I only have myself to blame.  I recently shared how Emmett was falling asleep in his own bed and we thought we'd finally worked through our bedtime troubles. Unfortunately, it seems that in my excitement over our perceived victory, I jinxed us.  I spent the night on the couch once again because Emmett wasn't able to sleep. Lizze was still sick and so Emmett and I ended up camping out in the living room.  It was a long night but I did get to sleep today, courtesy of my awesome wife.   Perhaps next time I'll not claim a victory so early...  ☺
