Horray for sleep!


No pictures with this entry (scratch that -- I just added one), but wanted to share that Ben slept though the night last night...an honest-to-God, all the way through without a peep, 10 1/2 hours through the night. We are so proud of him! On the handful of occasions he has slept through before, we have always had at least one wake up with some fussing, or a ridiculously early morning rise (think 4:50 am). But not last night. This is the first time I have had 8 hours of contiguous, uninterrupted sleep since December 3rd 2007. Let's hope it's a new trend! You can bet he will be eating the same thing for dinner tonight, getting bathed with the same soap, wearing the same pajamas, etc. in our attempt to re-create perfection. He woke up looking thoroughly rested and slightly bemused at our excitement.

Hi, Wendy! I finally remembered to look for your site when I got Alice's email with Russell's and Joslin's photo. I took a circuitous route to get here, but I'll make sure you're added to the Gazette's blogroll as soon as I'm finished here.

Congratulations on your full night of sleep...hope there's many more to come - but I wouldn't count on it! ;-)

Ben's a cute kid, and I'm glad to see you're raising him in the proper religion: Dallas Cowboys.

Congratulations to the whole family! May this be the first of many good nights.

Also, would you mind sending Ben over to our house so he can give Max a little talking-to on this sleep thing? Thanks!

Hey, Wendy and Steve, That really is exciting news, and Ben looks as happy about it as you are, looks like he's having really nice dreams. You guys sure do good work!

Luv, Margaret
