Resist the urge to poke them to see if they are OK!

Total normal, my OH would spends hours tucking them in at night, I'd get four kids bathed, dressed, warm drinks/bottels story read and in to bed by the time he'd finished tucking the ladies in!!! I'm sure he used to read them bed time stories and a kiss good night!!! The only animals he will have anything to do with, quite glad really it would take for ever if he put them all to bed at night!!! I'm sure most in here will tell you they've had sleepless nights over their charges, relax and enjoy them!! :chook: :chook: :chook: ;D ;D ;D ;D
