What a difference a night of sleep makes

Last week I was starting to feel like myself again and I know it is because I was able to get more sleep with Grace starting to do longer stretches, so I was in a bit of a panic this week feeling like I was sliding backwards. Yesterday though, I decided to be proactive and make Grace stick to a three hour schedule during the day. Well, IT WORKED! After her 10pm feeding last night, she slept until about 3:30 and after that feeding, I was back in bed by 4-ish, (I must have dozed off a bit while feeding) thinking that it would be great if she would last until 7. She woke me up at ten after! She fell back to sleep and Zander woke me up at quarter to nine. So I think that I got about 9 hours of sleep last night and I feel like my old self. Motivated, (sort of) and positive! Tomorrow we meet with the teacher from A+ to get the tools to get our kids learning. I can't wait!!! I am so excited to get my hands on this stuff and start getting Zander learning even more. He is pretty smart if I do say so myself. I love showing him the shapes and alphabet games on Fisher-price.com but even more, I love looking at his books and hearing him say the sounds of some of the letters before I do! He knows "S", "R", "O", "A", "X". Yeah, I'm bragging! LOL I am sure he has just memorized the sounds and doesn't really know what he is saying, but this A+ program will help us fix that. I can't wait to get started... have I mentioned I am excited about it? I only wish we had learned about it sooner, apparently there are aspects of the program that you can begin at 27 weeks of pregnancy, and they contacted us before Grace was born! That will teach me to procrastinate! I'll have to blog on our progress... if anyone reads this thing!
