Does anyone but my mother read this? Any mothers out there. Here is the deal: Maybe the child is just a night-owl. Today is a prime example. Gabriel woke up at 8:30am, fell asleep for a one and a half hour nap at 1pm, and is still awake now at half past midnight. He only slept more than a hour for a nap, because it is impossible to wake him up. Factor into this that the child is currently sick. You would think he would need to sleep more. I've tried eliminating the nap. He isn't ready for that. That will just cause him to sleep at 5 or 6pm. He never lasts an entire day without sleep. So what do I do? Wake him up at 7am? I know that part of the problem is that I can't wind him down. But, if I can't manage to get him to sit quietly in front of the tv or with a book, then what can I possibly do to get him to slow down and get tired?
Our blog is about movies, photography, sports, faith, politics and grassroots issues, but typically about family, our three sons, work or our menagerie. Some people call the household "Doug's Ark", so take that for what it is...
Go, Vikings! The contributors to this blog are looking forward to the football strike ending and Christian Ponder becoming the franchise quarterback who beats the odds to lead the team to success. Go Christian! (Y'know, I really like the sound of that).
