Parenting is hard .

Okay so parenting, is hard. Really hard. A constant backwards hostage negotiation and arguing with tiny versions of yourself. Lack of sleep and lots of unknowns. And it is super hard when you have kids with medical needs or are special needs. My oldest has autism, sensory processing disorder, asthma, severe allergies, sleep walks, and a weak immune system. Then my 2 yr old has restless leg syndrome, gerd, asthma, a form of sleep apnea that is due to his chin. But luckily he doesn’t need oxygen at night anymore! He just has to have nebulizer treatments. 

I keep having the most awesome of nights . No sleep for me. And no sleep for my husband either! My son was not sleeping for the longest time and we could not figure out why! Well... he was eating(ready for this?) coffee grounds before bed. Yeah. So he would get his nightly allergy meds and nasal treatments for post nasal drip and of course it makes him sleepy. So he would sneak back into the kitchen and eat grounds...yep. And now we hide coffee grounds! We hide.....coffee grounds. Pfftttgsbsvsv!

Ok, yeah. So once that was out of the way I was able to get him back to sleeping normal or normal for him. One night he got up ans was sleep walking. But he was like figure skating in his socks. Eyes closed and everything. We sat ther like
