At some age after babyhood I liked to sleep in. I think that age was roughly 4 years old. This continued into my teenage years, when my mother would frequently threaten (and sometimes follow through) to throw a cup of cold water on me if I didn’t get out of bed in the next ten seconds. And my dad would tell me, “Wait til you grow up and get a job. Then you won’t be able to sleep in and you’ll start going to bed at a normal hour!”<\/p>\n
The sign of a true night owl: after travelling to a timezone 3 hours behind your own you’re STILL be the last awake at midnight and sleeping until 10am. My parents say, “Ummm, shouldn’t you be falling asleep earlier<\/i> and awake at some crazy morning hour?” Nope, not me.<\/p>\n
And apparently not my daughter, either. She is getting ever stronger, and is starting to keep me up at night unless I’m really tired – depending on how she is facing. But then again, other than a few “nap times” during the day when she’s consistently quiet, I’m not really sure when she sleeps… it feels like she’s always kicking me! (Which is a wonderful thing, especially first thing in the morning. When I wake up all I have to do is roll over and then think in my head, “Baabbyyyy. Wake up!” and I immediately get little taps in response.) For example, it is currently 1am local time (4am “normal” time) and she is apparently throwing a party in there. I’m wondering just how many friends she’s invited.<\/p>\n
A busy day tomorrow, so perhaps I should try to get some sleep. Even if the little belly-monster doesn’t want to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
