Sleepless

Sleep is becoming difficult

We’re living in the nether zone between two naps and one, for one.

DAILY SNACK

Sleep is becoming difficult

With Irene.

We’re living in the nether zone between two naps and one, for one.

And night-waking is starting to wear me out.

I guess I’ve been kinda nursing her down,

Which I NEVER did with this girl when she was a newborn

Because it didn’t work.

She was sleeping through the night at 8 months

And went down for naps in an instant.

Not any more.

We did some sleep training with Colum at this age,

I remember.

And it worked, too.

But it was so hard.

I just don’t have the heart to go through that with Irene.

Not yet, not right now.

So, yes, make that an extra-large coffee

And please don’t mention the bags.

Thanks.
