E-chan slept through last night! Yiharr! While this in itself is more common these days, last night follows two nights of unsettled-ness. A bit of a cough, and waking up almost hourly from midnight until we worked out he wanted another bottle (he doesn't usually have them overnight and hasn't since he was round 6 months old, unless sick or unusually hungry).
Yes, imagine two dopey, half asleep parents, running around like headless chickens in the middle of the night, one trying to calm a little boy, the other wishing the kettle would boil quicker for the bottle, then frantically making up the bottle and shaking it to mix. When E-chan saw the bottle, his noises changed from "I'm miserable!" to "right I'll have that then!" combined with little outstretched arms ready to grab the bottle and shove it in his mouth!! Then blissful sleep for us all for a few hours.
Last night, anyway, he sleeps through, and what do I do? I wake up at 5:30am! It's common for me to wake up with the sun, but this is ridiculous - the sun is 45 mins away at 5:30! Go back to sleep... but then I hear the birds chirping their pre-dawn song, think morning must be near, and MY BRAIN STARTS TO THINK! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't do it, don't do it... sheep jumping over fence, sheep ju......... hey wasn't that a nice miffy t-shirt E-chan's carer was wearing yesterday? Hey! Sleep jumping over fence, sheep jumping over fence....?
Oh bugger it! I'll get up and blog until the boys wake up!
