How We Sleep

It's no secret - we like snuggling. The girls always ask for us to "snuggle" them at nap time (during the weekend) or at night. Jorge and I are pretty good about just sending them to bed, but the truth is, we also like spending time with our girls. We work such long hours, the morning routine is so rushed, and by the time we all get home from work, it's very close to bedtime. While I do love to sleep, I also love when the girls come into our room at 3:00am and want to snuggle between Jorge and me. (I don't like, however, when the come in at 3:00am and ask for a cup of warm milk.... )

Jorge always falls into this trap. Here's how conversations after 8:45pm in our house go:

Joli or Jada: "Mom? Dad? Can someone snuggle us for 2 minutes?"
Jorge: "Yes, okay, fine. But ONLY for two minutes!"
Liza: "Shall I wait to watch XYZ show? You'll be out in 2 minutes, right?"
Jorge: "Yes, yes, I'll be out in 2 minutes... wait for me! DO NOT start the show!"

... 2 minutes...

... 5 minutes...

... 10 minutes ...

... Yep, Jorge has fallen asleep....

So, it was no surprise when I walked by the girls' room that I saw Jorge fast asleep in Joli's bed. The BIG surprise, though, was that Jada was ALSO in the 1 tiny bed. Keep in mind -- it's a TWIN BED. If you look at the picture, Joli probably has 1 leg in the crack between the bed and the wall and Jada has 1 leg hanging off the side. Jorge is squished in the middle.

So cute....



Sunday was a beautiful day.. here is Jada at the college graduation ceremony.
