I have known this for sometime now, but it was just confirmed to me...just how different my 2 sons' sleeping patterns are. I just put some clothes away in Mac's room, sneaking in like a stealth bomber as he slept. I, ever so gracefully, tripped over a golf set (Thanks PaBob) and made the loudest commotion. He didn't even change his breathing rhythm. Out like a light. Now, Eli, on the other hand...if I even so much as touch his door knob, he sits up in bed. In fact, he is probably standing up right now because he heard me in Mac's room.
That's all I have time for tonight. I am just now eating dinner (at 9:24pm). A mother's work is never done...
:)
PS, ...and how fortunate am I to have such a demanding job! I love it even when I am asleep standing up!
Explanation of the "It's All About M.E."
While working in Indianapolis for Dr. Stokes as a Dental Hygienist, I would jokingly boast that everything should be all about me, i.e. how the schedule was arranged, needing help cleaning a room, etc. Our office manager Michele was always playing along with me. Now when I say, "it's all about me," I am referring to Mac and Eli. Because it truly is all about them.

About Me
- Emily Headley
- I am Emily Headley. Wife to Nathan and Mom to Mac and Eli. I have created this page to keep long-distance family and friends close, if not in proximity, then in thought. We are in the midst of a major change for our family, and my hope is that this web-page and blog will keep everyone up-to-date with what is going on in our lives. I want family and friends to still be able to see the "milestones" of the boys even though we are far away.

That is so funny how different they are! My kids are very different in most ways too. It's so interesting to me!
Hey, what are they going to be for Halloween? We actually have our webcam sitting on our bookcase (for the past two months), now if I could just get motivated enough to get it installed...the kids could look at each other (for about the two seconds they'll stand still!)
I hear you on this one Emily! Matthew has recently taken to ah sleeping our bed over fears of things that make shadows in the dark... always ALWAYS our problem sleeper. Marisa - she is amazing. We have said if Matthew slept like Marisa from the get go we likely would have tried having a 2nd baby sooner!
I want to know what those two cutie boys are going to be for Halloween as well!
My kids are like this too. I can go to Lily's room and pull her blankets back over her and move princess dolls off of her face and she doesn't even budge. Sometimes I feel like Cameron can hear me blink.
You do have a very demanding job, but you handle it incredibly well. I am honestly in awe sometimes. ;)
