Hayden was going through a bit of a sleep regression, which was normal for babies. You and Jack had laid him down for the night, but he didn't want to sleep. You turned on his sound machine and left him in his crib, he wasn't crying or upset, so you decided to leave him for about 20 minutes and see if he fell asleep on his own.

You were cleaning up a couple of the toys the girls had left in the living room when Jack noticed the girls were oddly quiet. He walked past Hayden's room to try to find them when he noticed the door was open.

"If I pick you up, can you reach his paci?" Paisley whispered, Jack stopped where he was.

"No." Paisley sighed dramatically. Jack walked back into the living room to get you. Paisley pulled a chair from the corner of the room closer to the crib.

You and Jack stood in the doorway, watching your daughters try to get your son to fall asleep. Paisley helped Olive onto the chair, and she leaned over the side, still unable to reach the paci.

"I can't reach," Olive whispered.

"Let me try." Olive and Paisley switched spots, and Paisley was able to reach the paci and put it back into Hayden's mouth. Hayden reached up for Paisley.

"I'm going to climb in, can you grab his stuffed animal?" Paisley asked before climbing over the side of the crib, Hayden giggling as Paisley sat next to him. Olive grabbed his favorite turtle stuffed animal before climbing on the chair to hand it to Paisley. Paisley took the stuffed animal before handing it to Hayden.

"How do Mommy and Daddy get him to sleep?" Olive asked.

"I think Mommy bounces him?" Hayden crawled so that he could lay next to her. "Wait, maybe he wants to cuddle." Paisley said Olive then climbed into the crib as well.

"I want to cuddle too." Olive laid down on the other side of Hayden, you and Jack smiled at each other.

"I think this is a sign we're doing something right," Jack whispered, so the girls didn't hear him.

"I think so too, he just wanted his sisters," You smiled, resting your head on his shoulder.

You both stood in the doorway, watching as your three kids fell asleep one-by-one. Once you knew they wouldn't wake up, you moved the girls to their own bed to give them all some more space.
