According to an Australian study, sending your kids to bed early means more than a peaceful night. It also means skinny kids. They studied 2,900 children and found that the ones who went to bed late and woke up late were more likely to become obese. Those that went to be early and got up early were skinnier. Imagine that especially since they had the same amount of sleep. So now when your kids fight you about their bedtime just tell them you are helping them stay fit.
My kids fight me every day. They use every excuse in the book. They have to use the bathroom, even though they have one in their room. They have to use the one in our room. Now this is a funny story. My son Logan, who is now 7, comes in every night to ask to use out bathroom this is because for some reason when you lift the toilet seat in the boys bathroom it tends to slam down suddenly he is afraid that is will chop off an important body part. So to calm him down especially when he is really jumping around we say okay. After all we do want grandkids at some point in the future.
This is a blog about living with 9 kids, a fabulous husband, 1 dog and 3 cats. With so many family members we have lots of fun. To make things interesting I have become a coupon junky. Our children all wrestle even the three girls. Our children range in age from 7 to 22. One of our children is vision impaired but gifted; one has a heart defect; and the youngest is allergic to the cold. I am disabled so playing mom is sometimes passed off to dad.
