Our little Navy surprised me a couple nights ago with going to bed at 10:30pm and not fussing until 4:30 in the morning. I’ll take 6 hours of sleep any day. The next night was the same. I thought a pattern was set up, and I was thrilled. I figured if she did it for three nights straight, the deal was sealed. But last night — the third night — I was lucky enough to hang with her at midnight, 2:30 and again at 5:00. I guess she missed me.
Here she dreams away in the cradle my dad made long ago, that all of my brothers and sisters slept in. Notice the most important items in my room…..Navy’s little doggy that Scout appointed to her, and is constantly giving to her, a bottle of formula that is there “in case” (I have found that when she gets collicky late at night, if I give her an ounce of formula, she settles down), and finally the scrabble board that settles any argument Micah and I have. We figure that whoever wins…must be right.
