Sleep, Glorious Sleep!
We have interesting "sleep" news for each of the 3 kiddos!
First up, when Baxter went to sleep last night, he was 1! But when he woke up this morning, he was 3! Yes, 3! Well, here anyway. Here, they count your age differently. When you are born, you are 1, so for every age that we think of (for instance, Ethan just had his 4th birthday), you add one year. So Ethan is "wo sui" -- or 5 years old here. I'm 26, but here, I'm 27. So while Baxter has only been alive for 2 years, and in America, we would be celebrating his 2nd birthday, here, he is turning 3 today!
As for Maranatha, she is making good progress toward sleeping through the night- she has one 5 hour stretch each night, and mommy & daddy are ever so grateful!
Ethan has some VERY exciting news: for the last 3 nights, he has woken up with dry underwear! 3 nights ago, Ethan told us he wanted to stay dry all night, "now that I'm 4" (but if you've read this far, you know even that number is in question!), so we put underwear on him. And he's stayed dry every night since!

Well Happy 2nd! (or 3rd!) birthday to Baxter. Keep him 2 - the longer they are little has to be better! Congrats on entering your third year with your precious guy.
Too bad that rule doesn't apply in England...then I could skip my 30th bday...wait, 31 doesn't sound much better. :)
