Ice Cream for Breakfast

Sleep, or the lack of sleep, has probably been the most defining family issue over the last three years.

With anywhere from 3-6 wakenings a night, we recently started to get really desperate. One night, I blurted out to the girls that if they slept the whole night they would get ice cream for breakfast.

It worked.

It was the best night sleep any of us had had in years.

The guilty mom in my needs to explain that the ice cream is DOVE bar "bite" - like an inch of icecream covered in dark chocolate. Really, pretty small.

It has been about a month and the girls have had one of those bites nearly every morning. And every morning I am beyond thrilled to open up that little wrapper for them.
