no sleep, kids and fun with family

Last night we spent the night out at my sister's house. It was fun! We always have tons of fun with my sister and her husband!
But the night was not so fun. Jaden slept horrible. He always sleeps horrible but last night was a doozy! We went to sleep at 11pm, he woke up at 1:00am and stayed awake until 4:30am. He cried the whole time! After 2 hours of crying, Robby decided to go for a drive with him. Robby drove for an hour and the whole time he cried! When he got home he cried for another half hour and then fell to sleep. Then woke up again at 7:00am. I don't know why he does this! He wakes up all night almost every night and we don't know what to do. We have talked to his doctor and they say it's his acid reflux. It probably is, because he tosses and turns and whines all night, and you can hear him gulping. But we don't know what to do because we give him his meds, and his crib matrice is on a slant. We are lost. Any idea's? We aren't even sure that is what it is, we are just guessing it's acid reflux.
Any way's the next morning the boys (Hemi and Robby) went paint balling while Lindsey and I took care of the kids. We mostly broke up fights all morning and putting the girls in time out all morning. We had a rough morning with the girls. But that is how it always is when Hannah and Abbey get together. It's crazy and sad. Will they ever get along?
So by the time 5 rolled around I was soooooo ready for my girls night out! NO KIDS!
The guys took the kids out and my sister Lindsey and my sister in law Lindsey went to the store and bought food to make Hawaiian haystacks, and strawberry short cakes. We had dinner and talked the night away! It was great! Much needed time away from kids with adult/women conversation. But now I am home and the fun has come to a end. But tomorrow should be a nice relaxing Sunday.

Joseph had that for quite a while. They do have Tums for kids and that really helped Joseph. He was about 18 months or so at the time so I am not sure that Jaden can have them, but it is worth looking into.

Poor baby! I wish we could just say okay, it's bedtime and magically the kids went to sleep and stayed in their beds sleeping until morning when you say it's time to get up! I wish! Night time sucks for us lately...soooo frustrating!
