Sleeping in

Two days in a row now, Jack has slept until 8:45 a.m.

Sure, there were night wakings in there and the last two-hour stretch was in the swing next to our bed, but MY GOD, we got some good sleep.

That is of course after I was both the non-stop human milk dispenser for almost an hour yesterday and then Jack's own personal jungle gym after that.

And who knew that trying to stick your finger up Mommy's nose could be so much fun?

After he tried to climb over me to see what was on the other side -- that would be the edge of the bed and the floor, buddy -- I poked Josh and told him he needed to put Jack in the swing. That was at 5:30. Next thing I knew, it was 8:45 and I could hear Jack chatting to the fish.

Poor Josh ended up waking early as he went in search of a Nintendo Wii (verdict: none to be had after driving around and trying online) and he was mighty disappointed to hear that he would have been able to sleep in.

Tomorrow, I think we'll have to get up early. We can't go to the swing too many times, or it won't work when we really need it. Like on the weekends. After Mommy and Daddy have been out with friends.
