Still doing the OTF. When I thought I was hitting a stride where I was able to get full nights sleep.... I was sorely mistaken. My little guy has started rolling over and over .... and over. and in the middle of the night when he rolls over it startles him and he wakes in terror.... so I get woken up about every hour and a half..... In true parenting fashion, I am just gritting and bearing through this patch of non sleep... caffeine is my friend.
On a separate note, prior to my parenting life where my weekends are now spent with a glass of wine sitting next to laundry - folding clothes while I watch an episode of something or am watching the most efficient way to apply eyeliner... I used to love going to karaoke. While I miss going to a karaoke bar and having a beer, my karaoke is now singing to my 3 yr old at bed time. To him I am whoever he wants to listen to, I get to be Elvis, Patsy Cline, Judy Garland, Selena, Hank Williams or whatever other song he wants to hear... what makes it better is that he has started requesting the songs and singing along. Although I do miss singing and going out, I love the smile from my lil man when he asks for "mommy song" which is really just an Elvis song, and he sings along with every word...
Where I am going with this post is that, yes the nights are long and make for exhausting days but there are those things... the little things that my boys do that make me forget I haven't slept longer than 45 minutes at a time in a week....
