OK I Give Up - Let's Go Down to the Swings

Finn and Olivia are now sleeping...where? In their swings. They haven't needed the swings to get to sleep for a while now (many weeks). But tonight they both woke up in the wee hours and wouldn't go back to sleep. Olivia was stormin' mad until she was in the bed with us. Then she just keep moving around and smiling and flapping those arms and squirming, never ending. When David put her in his arms in a secure position where she felt super comfy but couldn't flail, she almost went to sleep. She had one eye closed, then the other, then both, then SCREAM! CRY! It is like she was fighting sleep with everything she had. It had to sneak up on her, that is why I had the brilliant idea of putting her in the swing. And it worked. Finn was just thrashing around in his bed too, making lots of sounds and clearly not sleeping so he got put into the swing plan too. That is why I'm up. I put them both in a soft warm sleeper (fleece) and they both passed out, not right, away, but pretty fast. I think it's teething. I still can't feel a tooth, but Olivia is motioning towards a particular spot in her mouth (left bottom front), and it looks even more swollen than usual. Please God, let's have some teeth pop through! I just want a brief reprieve from the myriad of teething symptoms.
