Zzzzz

Sweet Potato is just a little over 11 months old.  It's been that long since I have slept seven hours at one time.  Ouch.  Even when I have the opportunity to sleep longer than seven I always end up waking up for no particular reason.  I'm not sure if it's my mind thinking I hear her or I've just been reprogrammed to wake up every four hours.  I say I'd average around six hours or so of sleep - not consecutively but cumulative.  Sure I can go to bed earlier, but that means I'd have to be in bed by 9PM.   Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that as a kid I always thought it was so strange that my parents went to bed so early.  Now I totally understand.

Luckily, on most weekends I can squeeze in at least a 30 minute nap to catch up or at catch my second wind.  I do have a feeling that Jr. is going to drop his nap soon after he turns four.  Just a feeling.  I am confident, however, that he will enjoy "quiet time."  If not I'll some how bribe the kid.

Sweet Potato please sleep!! Our relationship will grow stronger if you do.  These past few days have been better, well that is until this morning.  4:30AM? Come on!
