Is part of having kids. With kids, comes no sleep. It's just how it goes and while totally exhausting, it is completely rewarding to see those wonderful two faces everyday. Even though there are just days you want to go a little crazy and scream at the frustration of things that happen and they do happen without fail. I think it is part of being a parent that you also need to figure out how to deal with these situations because it also gives your kids an insight into how to deal with any issues they might come across. It is not an overnight thing, and I have only realized this fairly recently about how my kids see me deal with the problems and situations they throw at me everyday. It is kind of amazing really that you just take care of whatever for them. The other thing to remember is that depending on how much sleep you have gotten the night before is essentially the state you are in the next day. I am pretty much a little more touchy when the sleep has been less than stellar, i.e., under about 6 hours give or take.
It will be nice when both kids sleep through the night, but at least they are both sleeping better (when they are asleep that is). Sometimes getting them to the sleep part can be very complicated and time-consuming, but in the end they have at least gotten more sleep than me, but they need more than I do to have a decent day the next day typically.
Basically, just getting some sleep is very helpful in many ways, but sometimes the sleep is not the amount truly needed to get through the next day gracefully, but you do get through it and my kids just make me smile way too much so it is not all that bad.
