Sleeping Like a Rock Star

Today Colin slept until 8:48 am -- who are you and where is my child?! He slept so long that I was showered and ready for the day with a cup of tea in hand and a clean dish washer before he even stirred! Unfortunately, he briefly woke up with a scream at 5 am and I was awake since then...figures!

He normally wakes at 6 am -- not sure why today was so golden -- so why do some babies seem to wake so early and others sleep in until 8 am? He seems to have some sort of Atomic clock that knows when it's 6 am Pacific time...wish I could reprogram him so that I could go join our free taebo class at the church at 5:30 each morning.

Sleeping in is great, but then it throws the whole day off -- so when does he eat lunch? nap? Does he get one or 2 naps? Such a transition time! I think it's his teeth -- blame all sleep outliers on teething!

Just an update on Elliot (family cat & Colin's daily playmate): We are taking him to the vet again next week for a review of more skin issues -- we will continue to pray that they are not cancerous.

* I am thankful that Elliot is so tolerant and loving with Colin. He adores Colin and will sleep outside his door when he naps during the day.
* I am thankful that Colin slept in today later than ever - what a treat for mom!
