Sleep Patterns

While we were on The Mail Box Store retreat, you decided you didn't want to nap like you usually do - about three times a day. You only napped once, after lunch. I was shocked, mainly because you handled the one nap time so well. It also made me happy, you're always one step ahead of me, lol. I was planning on restructuring your day once the new year hit so that you only took one nap a day anyways. I figured it'd be the perfect time because I'd be student teaching so you'd have a set time to be at Nana's house and picked up at a usual time.

Things had been going pretty well, although I found out the last few days you've been taking two naps a day, which was thrown off your night sleeping. Having you in the same room as us keeps me more alerted to you I think. Just you sleeping in general has. I sleep so lightly now that it's like I'm just waiting on you to move or make a noise.

When you wake up at night, or if you're not quite ready for bed at night, you've created this habit of hitting your head against the wall - not sure who taught you that one, but you find it hilarious.

I love the nights you get slap happy, you are so funny. You know if you stop you'll pass out so you do whatever you can to keep moving. You get so silly that anyone watching you can't do anything but play and be goofy with you back. I love it.
