Sleep or no sleep

The house is quite,... and I should be sleeping. It seems the pressure to sleep is keeping from sleeping or maybe it is all the chocolate I have been eating. I know it is lent and I should probably not eat sweets but with all the stress going on around here,... a few handfuls of chocolate cannot hurt!!!

We meat with our small community of families tonight. It was great. Our piano was played by a great pianist and guitar strings where plucked and the house was filled with praise and worship to our Lord and King. Stories of how God heals terminal illness where shared and rejoicing took place. The children received prayers and they danced like no one was watching... with the exception of their heavenly Daddy.

At bedtime we had a little incident that is just to funny not to share.
Months ago we decided to switch the twins from formula to cow's milk. We did it gradually. Esther did not mind at all. When we got to about 1/2 formula and 1/2 cow's milk Daniel protested and refused his "baba". We kept it up for about 4 1/2 days until I could nolonger handle this little boy who was misbehaving and tantruming all the time. I gave him a formula bottle and he returned to his joyful self. Since, then he had been having formula and Esther cow's milk. Esther will have formula when we are out and about just because it is easier. We have wonder what Daniel who say to trying cow's milk again... well...
tonight... Daniel asked for his bedtime bottle and we gave it to him... but he took a few sips and rejected it. This happened several times. He kept begging for a bottle, and he was refusing to fall asleep without a bottle. We would give him his bottle and he would reject it and say NO! Joey was trying to rock him to sleep, when it hit me... had we accidently given the formula bottle to Esther and the milk bottle to Daniel.... I made a new formula bottle handed it over to Daniel. He took a few sucks ... and happily sucked all of it back. And was asleep in minutes. Guess we got our answer.

With that I think I will go catch some ZZZZZZZZ
