Jack’s doing pretty well at sleeping for a 5 or 6 hour stretch, but that stretch is usually in the afternoon or evening. That means short naps during the night! Johnny and I take shifts with him overnight. I usually stay up until about 4, while Johnny goes to bed around 10. Then he gets up and I sleep until sometime in the morning. Or early afternoon, if I’m lucky. We do both get an hour or two of sleep here and there if Jack dozes off or is content, but I’m really hoping to get him to move his long stretch to the nighttime. Meanwhile here I sit, blogging while watching BabyFirst TV. Yes that’s right: the nation’s first television station just for babies! You’re probably scoffing right now. That’s ok, I did too at first. Then I watched some of it, and it is mesmerizing. Especially the nighttime programming. It’s all soft music and colorful images. We imagine it’s well-liked by both babies and stoned people. Unfortunately, the channel is 10 bucks a month so we won’t be subscribing to it. Instead, we Tivoed 8 hours each of the daytime and nighttime stuff so we have an entire videotape of each to save. That’s right, we’re teaching Jack how to save money already!
Speaking of money, the garage sale didn’t happen last week. My mom and I were too daunted by the task of getting the garage ready, so she decided she’d do it in a few weeks during the Community Garage Sale. Personally, I don’t care if she doesn’t have it at all - the stuff is out of my house, and that was really the point. Although there is enough left here that we couldn’t fit in the cars to haul up there that I’ll be having one here on my patio sometime in July.
Ahh, the mesmerizing images have put Jack to sleep! Now to try and transport him up to his bed for a while. Think sleepy thoughts for him.
