Good morning!

Ishu woke me up at 4am and I’m not even that mad about it because he was GIGGLING in his sleep.

For like a straight 20 seconds.

I wonder what his little brain was dreaming of.

He’s been sleeping better throughout the night, but has been having a really tough time falling asleep. For the past week, it’s taken over an hour – sometimes even up to two – ’til he drifts off.

I think there are a couple things at play here. 1) He may be ready to drop his nap (which is hard for us ’cause he naps at school), so I might drop his weekend nap. 2) He might need a later bedtime, closer to 9-ish. And 3) I think he just isn’t getting enough movement during these winter months.

Who knows?

If you’ve got any other recs, please send them my way.

For now, just trying to meet him where he’s at and also embrace the fact that he’s doing a pretty good job of sleeping through the night (for the most part).

Last night, we had Auntie Bella over for dinner. Ishu painted her a dinosaur and we named it Bella-saurus. It’s always so fun seeing them together. Ishu just loves her so dang much and it’s like z-e-r-o time has passed when they’re together. He just crawls right into her lap, shimmies up close to her, and every time I watch them interact, it makes my heart melt.

I feel very fortunate that, even though he’s been going to school now, we still get to keep her in our lives. Forever!

Anyway, I guess I’ll take advantage of this quiet morning – now that I’m fully awake – and do a little reading. I just finished this book yesterday and started this book.

Hope you all have a great day! It’s almost Friday…WHAT?
