leaving just DS1 (7) up until he normal bedtime (8pm) to get the house tidy for DS3's birthday tomorrow (and wrap his presents etc), and to get myself sorted for my new man coming round to see me at just gone 8.30 (when all 3 will be safely tucked up in bed??).
It sort of feels a bit selfish to send them early (well not so much DS3 as he woke up from his afternoon nap at 3 so will happily go down around 7ish), but DS2 (4) is quite happy.......perhaps too much so he's being loud and boisterous and I know I'll get nothing done at all if both DS1 and 2 are up until 8......
