Sleep, Sweet Sleep
Here’s the report from Day 3 of Operation Sleep, Dammit!
Noah didn’t nap much after his 9:30 - 11:30 am nap yesterday, maybe 40 minutes of “sleating” around 4:30 pm. But for some reason, he was still chipper and going strong at 8 pm. After he jumped up and started climbing Mount Mama twice, […]

Ok, I’m a Convert
Last night was night 2 on the “cry it out” test run.
Noah woke up twice, he cried for 5-6 minutes the first time, and about 2 the second. Except for those, he was asleep from 8:15 pm to 6:45 am.
And then he napped from 9:30 am - 11:30 am.

On Thursday, a massive water main 5 miles from […]

Five or so minutes after he stopped crying, Jill went to check on him, only to discover as the door moved an inch, that Noah was not sleeping. He […]

More Christmas
I can’t believe I forgot this!
Jill and I got an early Christmas present from my parents: theater tickets! We were supposed to get a Date Night on Friday night, in Milwaukee, with grandparental babysitting.
Having a feverish, vomiting barnacle prevented me from going. So Jill and my mom went to the play, which they […]

Ah, Christmas
Can you tell that had a wonderful trip to Milwaukee, in spite of some trying circumstances?
We flew out Thursday morning. I was sure we were on an 8:30 am flight, but I was wrong. We were on the 10:10. Ooops. Somewhere between the airport and the airplane, Noah caught something, and by the time we […]
