Being a mom isn't easy. Being a mom of two children, both under two, is even harder.

My 23 month old is, well, extremely energetic. Just watching her makes me so tired. She never runs out of energy, when she's tired she goes on full Speedracer mode and doesn't stop until the moment she finally passes out. It's quite unbelieveable.

I read a blog here the other day about someone's daughter who wouldn't sleep because she might miss something. That's my oldest. Her whole life has been a huge sleep struggle. You would not believe the things my husband and I had to go through to get her to sleep, especially during the first year of her life.

Walk her, rock her, sing to her, drive her, walk her while breastfeeding, drive even more, sing while dancing, walk her taking large strides, more driving, walking while breastfeeding while singing while hopping on one foot ... you get the picture, right?

She's been sick the last two days, though. Just a cold. Today while I was hanging clothes up in the closet, she sits down at my feet and quietly plays with some toys. I found it pretty strange but go on with what I'm doing. But there she is, so strangely still and I even asked her a few times if she was okay.

What do you know it.. she starts swaying because she's falling asleep sitting there! Poor baby. I picked her up and put her into bed and she went fast asleep.

I wanted to Dance Dance Revolution right there on the spot.
