I suppose you're likely to say that the twins are the reason I'm so tired right now. But it's more to do with the lack of sleep last night before I came over here to stay with them for the weekend.

I fell asleep in front of the TV last night then couldn't get to sleep when I went to bed. Hence feeling rather whacked out today.

It's been great to spend the day with Patrick and Katie, even though Patrick has been rather grumpy. Bed time was tricky - and as they got a little emotional so did I. But we got threw it eventually and Patrick even had a bath.

They are both fast asleep now. Much earlier than I'm used to when they first came home with me. That first month with me I was feeding them every four hours and eight pm to midnight was an especially grumpy time. So for them both to be fast asleep from just after 7pm this evening seems amazing.

I keep thinking I'm supposed to be doing something for them right now. Sure, if they want a feed at 2am they'll get one, but otherwise I'm free until the morning.

I saw free, but I'm a typical nervous parent. So I keep popping in to see them, and giving them a little nudge so they'll move.

Today has been hugely rewarding. Tough towards the end as bedtime approached. But a really great day with my little ones.
