Sleep is not overrated. And neither is hot chocolate!

We've been told by our pediatrician that our 2 year old son has a sleeping disorder. He has had a tough time falling asleep since we moved from New Mexico last year to Texas. He normally doesn't fall asleep until 10 sometimes 11 pm! I mean, I know I'm a night-owl, but even I am tired by 11. Poor lil' guy. So, she suggested that we give him Melatonin. Weird, right?! I remember studying about melatonin being what your body produces while your body sleeps. However, I hadn't realized that you could take melatonin in a pill.

So we tried it last night. Granted, we have had a lot of late nights lately, since my hubby is a pastor, and that means lots of late night Christmas parties/church fellowships and of course the obligatory Sunday and Wednesday evening late night after church thing. :)

But we tried it. And it worked. He fell asleep 30-40 minutes after I gave it to him!! That's such an improvement.

Here's how we gave it to him... incognito- haha.

Ever heard of "Hot. Hot. Hot! Hot Chocolate!"?

Polar Express movie reference there for you non-kid movie watching peeps.

He looks a little worried. lol.

But I guess it ended up being all good.

He got hot! hot! hot! Hot Chocolate!

And we got a little boy who went to sleep faster than usual.

And not to be left out...

Although we did leave him out of the Melatonin part.

Ha!

I'm sorry. I just love pictures of my children!

Hope you do too, or you just might be in the wrong place! lol.

Blessings! -Sarah
