Some patterns have emerged

So I woke up at 3:30 on my own to use the bathroom.  A few minutes later, my son was up.  I could tell he wasn't going back to sleep just by putting a pacifier back in his mouth so I made him a bottle. While feeding him, my daughter woke up.

I gave Boris to my mom to rock back to sleep while I dealt with Natasha.  She went right back to sleep after her bottle.  Boris not so much.  It took another hour or so to get him back to sleep.  And I
have not been able to fall back to sleep.

Remember we had an ethical obligation to only spend
