The Magic, The Fear, and A New Hope

How to get Roane to sleep all night: make LAST CALL 7:30 PM.

Not 7:30, wait no 11:30, wait NO 3:00... 

Be a tough bartender. Send in the bouncer (dad) if the patron is yelling "BARKEEP, bring me my ALE! ANUDDER ROUND!"

And like Magic, the kid sleeps (fairly soundly) till the bar opens at 5:00 AM. And then goes back to sleep till 7:00!

And then, the Fear...

The little boy was sleeping awfully at night, but was taking TWO SOLID 1.5 to 2 hour naps each day. Then, abruptly last week, he stopped napping. Oh. My. God. It's Sophie's Choice: is a couple hours of me-time during the day worth a terrible night's sleep?  Or is a good night's sleep worth a full day of on-duty childcare?

A New Hope?

But maybe it was just a coincidence, because it's now 12:10 PM and he's been sleeping since 10:30.  I've messed around with pictures on Picasa, watched two episodes of House (what's wrong with me), and decided I had time to blog.  We'll see how the week plays out.
