Oh dear! Poor you - was it the same child each time? Hope tonight is better.
No, two different children. At least at one point the crying small one distracted the grumpy middle-sized one from her woes!
Wow! Give yourself a gold star for patience!! I hope they are feeling better soon. (and you don't come down with anything!)
I was up with you! I had to dash out to a 24 hour pharmacy - oh the coughing!
I love Peppa Pig!
Ugh - mind you you can look forward to when you and Tevye keep THEM up all night :)
Hope that everyone sleeps well tonight.
That's amazing that you did not become impatient! Well done!
A loving mama, they may not remember these exact moments, but they remember the feeling of our love.
