Day 844. Last night I headed to bed before 11:30. But it ended up being one of the worst nights in Mali yet. Now that we have added more water to the mattress, we have even less room on it, and we struggled all night, them waking up, moving them, keeping them from falling off, Sammy wanting milk...

Day 843. Last night I headed to bed around 11:30, but it was a while before I got to fall asleep. At first there were no kids, but it wasn't for long, and then Emmy and Tammy came at the same time. Since we had added water to our waterbed, the mattress was pretty full, which meant it was easier to roll off on the side.

Day 842. Last night I headed to bed at 11:30. I had to move both Emmy and Tammy to their bed first. Emmy went first and he continued sleeping.
