Precious moment with Beau

Last night Matt had to go to bed early, so I was on my own getting the kids to bed. The older kids go to bed fine, but Beauchene usually climbs into bed with Matt and me with his arms around my neck and then goes to sleep. Then I will carry him to his bed. Well last night I was dealing with Elody trying to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep for the night. Every time I tried to put her down, she would wake up. Beauchene came into my room wanting me to hold him. So I knelt down, gave him a hug, and asked him to please go climb in bed with Jaren tonight. He just said to me, "OK" and he did it and went to sleep. I was in awe. That was huge for him. He has never been willing to do that. It was such a relief to me to know that he is capable of going to his bed on his own. I ended up getting Elody to stay asleep at 11:15 pm after 1 1/4 hours of working with her. She just has her biological clock set to go to bed at that time and I am trying to get that time moved up. She will then sleep for about 4 hours, nurse, sleep for another 3 hours, nurse, and wake up at about 9 am.
